The numbers I posted are checking numbers but do not really define the cam's charistics

It also stopped some valve bounce on closing but did approach liftr launch at the high opening rate

Jerry, did Comp Cams tried something that may have been similar on some very expensive, radical high lift sprint car roller cams back in the late 70's????
The Tech we used at Comp for our cams was "J. R."--can't remember his name for the life of me...... Just curious if there's was the same technology or something entirely different?????? The cams did have a peculiar lobe shape, that much I do remember about them....
