cam question

IQ thank you for the cam reads,however when your dealing with a not so heavy car and making 630 or 700 foot lbs of tq. I think it might be beneficial to trade off some tq for a little more rpm/hp . a few years back I helped with a 340 70 duster started off as a 15 sec car. With a manifold swap(torker to dual plane)cam swap232/242 112hd from a 242/242 108 and tuning the car was in the low 12s.We went back to the 242/108 and lost 2 tenths.Put 232/242 back in, came right back w/same4000 stall converter.I wondered why it was quicker with the 112 vs 108 .
Back to the 522
I know the heads/manifold are killing it, but to get it to rpm a little higher i thought spreading the lsa w/less int duration might be a good compromise.
Thank you, Joe
