Bob,

I have another "why" question about cams. In the cam you just described, what is so different about these profiles? The variations appear to the untrained eye to be slight. Intake & Exht have .003 more lift and 4* more duration at .050. How much extra HP/torque/rpm range does this translate to?

Is there a typo in the intake duration of the Bullet Racing Cams, H265/286? Your description says there is less intake duration than exhaust duration. I presume the profile designation is duration for these cams, where as the profile number for the Cam Tech cam, is lift?

Do have any recommendation for timing changes for these cams you just listed for Swindler_57?

TIA
Paul
