And another from Tilden Technologies:

"A quick opening and closing cam will provide better low end performance than one that is slower opening."

I know Harold Brookshire has good information related.


“The problem is, if you are something of a novice at this engine business, just about everything to do with cams and valvetrains looks complex, and the truth is, it's that and more.
If cam and valvetrain design at the top level is in your future, you had better think in terms of a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering.”

Years ago I had lunch with David Vizard after visiting his shop ( he flow tested one of my cylinder heads), Jerry Goodale was at the table as well. I listened to David intensively, kept my mouth shut and paid the bill
