But the timing on this cam is too radical for use at 1800-2000 rpm's, where an overdrive motor runs. For an overdrive transmission, you need a cam that begins making power at just off idle, like 1000 rpm's, so that by the time the crank is turning 1800, the motor is "up on the cam" and running efficiently. This should be a very easy to understand concept, but I have made quite a few fellows mad when I have tried to explain it to them. I think they were just pissed that their combination was junk after spending all that money. COMBINATION/COMBINATION/COMBINATION.

techinspector1, I appreciate your knowledge. Not trying to argue with you, and your not making me mad, trying to understand and sometimes for me it takes awhile. But I'm not running a 700r4 o/d trans for gas mileage. In fact around town I mostly don't use 4th gear stay in 3rd. When I get out on the freeway or open round i'll shift into 4th. and with a 2200 stall convertor, I don't understand why this cam wouldn't work.
