what is an inverse flank cam thanks ted
it is a cam that has a lobe that opens slower at first then accelerates---so lobe is more pear shaped than egg shaped----really the appearance is that radical, but it was an advanced design that Crower ground for me back in early mid seventies----it was necessary to use a small diameter grinder wheel so was difficult/expensive(not cost effective---required switching wheels, dressing frequently and balancing of the grinder) and never used for shelh/common cam grinds
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
thank you for the info I learned something new today thanks jerry........ted
so that monza witht he 287 was it a stick car or an automatic?
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????Quote:

Comp called it a "Taravel" grind. Same approach as the Crower design. Expensive custom grinds and a long wait to get.
Gasser--it was Richmond 5 speed--10-11000rpm
Dave---I don't know--I did this early mid seventies----info did get out and around as people switched jobs/companies--probably should of tried to patten the idea
Nitro---yes they were time consuming to made with small grinding wheel--plus different set up/trueing/balancing small grinder wheel--plus all the masters were made for machines with large wheels
still gonna sell that doug nash dave? :D
