The C cam isn't all that feeble. I was really surprised when I first got my dead-stock B18B on the track and found out what happened if I revved the &%$# out of it. Went much better than I had any idea it could.

As John Parker said on the HP / Torque / Accel thread, they're not tractor engines if you don't drive them like tractor engines.

If you read old tests of the original P1800, which had less cam and less compression than my '67 (only 100 HP advertised), they found that it would keep revving right through the valve float and keep pulling out the other side, well past the redline. Of course, I don't recommend doing that...
