the way it responds/D2

[mopar@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

        Good morning, D2,
        There is more to a cam than lift spec. The excact cam installed
        with a four degree difference will act radically different. To
        make a statement of such that has no FACT to bear it leaves a
        lot to guessing.. The difference between a .268 and a .284 would
        be a major difference.. A .268 Just about everyone on this list
        would be thrilled with at zero or less install.. A .284 ,even at
        a four degree install, would still irratate 90% of the people on
        this list.. However.. There is a way to turn your guessing into a 
        FACT..  We can determine VALVE lift with dial indicator on tip of
        a valve and rotate motor to cycle cam rotation.. By using a degree
        wheel on the crank, setting TDC, we can make a damn good call on
        what the duration it... Seperation and install would still not be
        determined.. So,, Dim,, go remove your valve covers and get crackin'
                                :)
