Basically though.. you try to match certain parts to the cam.. they advertise these parts at power bands, as well as the cam. So if I have 411 gears and a six speed with a 2.97 1st gear ratio I don't care about low end.. which is why my cam has a duration at about 250@.50. If I had salt flat gears, and an autotranny without the proper stall the car would be a dog at lower rpms until it hit it's power band. But anyways.. the biggest thing I can see that you need to match up to your cam is the intake manifold, and the heads. It's actually a super simple design.. And for power brakes I have a power brakes booster.. brakes work awesome..
