Stroker specific cams?

My post is an example of why its a bad idea to mix adult beverages and forum posting. My user name says it all, but anyway, I'm well aware of lifter diameters and benefits of one vs. another, actually well read at least enough to know how to choose a lobe with specs I'm looking for. I think I just let my dislike of the use of the term "Chevy lobe" get the better of me! Might be defensive cause im running an Isky circle track cam with lobes for a .842" lifter?? LOL:rolleyes: Many throw that term around often in a negative way, just don't see it the same, I get it all, I just see lifter diameters, and specs, slow up to fast, not whether its a Chevy lobe, or Ford lobe etc All I can say is its just another inebriated post on my part, apologies for running off the road:realcrazy:.

Sometimes you have to look at the whole package. If it comes down to it, I'd rather have the bigger lifter with a quicker lobe AND the correct timing. If it comes down to it, I'd take a Chevy lobe with the correct timing rather than a Chrysler lobe with the wrong timing. I hope that makes sense.

And don't apologize. It's much better to hash this stuff out so guys can learn. I've been doing this stuff my entire life and I'm still stunned by the stuff that still gets palmed off as truth when it's just fiction. So discussing the reasons why some of this stuff we say is what we say is always a good thing.

Again, in my world, this is why I don't buy cams off the shelf. Although I should add one of the very best solid cams I ever used was the Isky 1012C. Great cam. But if I can get the Chrysler lobe with the correct timing, I always opt for that. Then you give up less. In the end, I always look at timing numbers first though, because lifter diameter and lobe aggressiveness is not as important as what you timing numbers are. I try and get the best of both.
