I found a video from 2007, watched it.. forgot I added a 2011 compare, so this evening with yet another engine build since then, I added 2013.
Anything to notice? aside from the title, that should be six years, not four.
2007- original tiny cams, tiny intake, hitachi carb. Solid Lifters
2011 - same as above, but with spfi cams (typically used for injection)
2013 - equal header, Rochester carb, spfi intake, hydraulic lifters, optical distributor and digital ignition box...and 100cpi catalyst convertor, etc etc (long list of chores)
my own thoughts.. I think I made it as fast as it would go in the second clip.. built for speed, and no other details to sustain. that is the lesson I guess. the third clip is the same speed...with a whole lot more chores done.. cooling, exhaust, ignition, air fuel.. on and on. Live and learn. Anyone can build for speed...but there is more miles than one..
To narrow it down.. cams do everything. that first engine was 9.0 to 1 tiny carb. the third engine was 10.2. Same speed.. all by cams.
The chores pile on fast after the big cam. Fun at first..
