Rog, I don't even have a pulse til half way thru the second cup! and I have the appropriate coffee mug, it sez "Is there life before coffee?"

Back to the post... It's really good to know exactly where the cam is at when everything is all done and you start wondering where there's a bit more performance... Dialing in a cam is one more thing that really sold me on the hydraulic roller cams, with the super fast ramp rates you can run less duration and move the valve opening and closing events around.... Makes for better performance and still maintains good street manners...

I'd really like to see a "primer" tech article on the right way to degree a cam, what it can do for you and what you need to be aware of for a long term, reliable engine. Maybe a new thread in Engine Talk? Or maybe a link to a good article?
