Just match the camshaft and valve system to the speed you want to run. I'd reccomend a Comp Cams 260H RV cam and springs that will allow operation without valve float up to 6K RPM or so. Use about 9:1 compression and regular gas. The RV cam has a pretty flat torque curve that begins to produce usable torque in the 1800-2K range, and HP that tops out just under 5K. Perfect for hauling heavy loads on long upgrades.
