Default Proven packages section AKA Cliff notes POLL!

I feel it would be beneficial to have a sticky or a new catagory for tried and proven performance #'s. The FTL has some of this but the info isn't enough. I frequently get PM's about my set up and we would have a lot less threads from NOOBS about "which cam should I use". The sticky could have sub links for N/A, blown, and turbo set ups and maybe even engine size sub catagories in each. I'm talking about people posting up as much detail as possible of their set ups (cam specs included ) and HP/tq #'s and track times and it be in an organized format to be easy to compare between different set-ups.

So who all thinks we need this?

I don't want this to turn into a debate about secret cam specs again. But I will say that posting all your specs would not be very beneficial if you don't at least post duration @.050, lift and LSA.
If it was a sticky in the new members section then new guys could see it and have a good idea before they dive in and start asking elementry questions.

Possible format:

YEAR, MAKE, MODEL:

ENGINE SIZE:

POWER ADDER SPECIFICS(IF APPLICABLE):

HEADS:

COMPRESSION RATIO:

CAMSHAFT SPECS:

VALVE TRAIN(PUSHROD LENGTH, ROCKERS ETC.):

INTAKE MANIFOLD & TB:

FUEL SYSTEM:

EXHAUST:

TRANSMISSION & STALL/CLUTCH:

REAR GEAR & TIRE SIZE:

SUSPENSION/TRACTION:

TRUCK WEIGHT(ASSOCIATED WITH ET):

RWHP/TQ:

1/4 & 1/8 MILE TIME AND MPH:

What do you guys think? Any other suggestions?

Hows that? I figured the 2wd or 4wd would be included in the Year/make/model section.

Also, it may be best to put this under each make (chevy, dodge, ford, etc.) and just a link to them in a sticky in the new members section.

Sounds like a great idea for everyone! It will help out new peeps when the veterans here are MIA or out replacing broken trannies and rear ends...etc.
