Subjects for the true tech heads here

coming soon....
Torqueflite clutch capacity beefing using OEM parts
Valve train geometry...the untold tech. This is the real deal including velocity facts and the and how they influence your cams performance, whats good and whats bad about each choice you make (oh God....not engineering compromises!)

Welcome.  I'm probably the last guy anyone would suggest as the welcoming committee.

Torqueflite clutch capacity beefing using OEM parts:  John_Kunkel.  Done

You are on the wrong forum for this.   Search on Speed Talk and Yellow Bullet.  There are two parts to this discussion: 1) the intricate details of geometry (which very few people understand, but everyone talks like an expert - so reader beware), and 2) when and if any of it really matters.

will be interesting for comparision though

This sounds great 
I'd be up for the Valvetrain discussion, and especially interested in some of the supporting bibliography which can be controversial, given the application relevance to as you said..... "engineering compromises"

There are definetely subjects that are hashed and rehashed with the geometry be one of the most prolific. I've read everything I could get my hands on for years now and never got the info I developed myself by actually measuring the differences in lift per degree of crank rotation. I'm not here as a God by any means but there are always a few people at least who are hungry for more understanding or knowledge and that's the audience. Been to speed talk and maybe even posted some of this subject there but mostly on the SAMBA VW forum.

Differences in "lift per degree of crank rotation" ? hmmmm..... are you referring to what 'portion' of the rocker arm "arc" you are using above the Valve Tip ? or at the Pushrod end arc ?

Great! I'm especially interested in the valve train geometry and your take on some issues such as the 1/2 or 2/3 lift for 90 degree rocker arm/valve angle.
