Overall parts combination
I've been doing more and more reading on this forum, especially in the archives and a phrase that keeps popping up is, "The overall parts combination is what is important." My understanding is that if you just select a group of blingy parts that won't work well together you may as well be throwing money away. So how does a person determine which parts will work well together without buying and testing them out. Obviously trial and error in motor sport is very expensive and I would like to know if there is a way to determine what a part will do vs another part of the same category.
How do you all do it? I've been reading your build threads and have been blown away and how easy you all make it look.
