Camshaft And Valve Timing Event Articles

Many years ago I tried a new at the time series of fast rate hyd cams in a motor I put together.
“On paper” it seemed like this was going to be a slam dunk.

Well, I was seriously underwhelmed by that cam in that motor.
So, I swapped it out with a much older design, that again “on paper” looked like it was going to be worse in every way for that build.
It did everything better.
More TQ, more HP, more responsive, revved higher before float, and had a quieter valvetrain.

Sometimes the theories don’t always play out like they’re supposed to.
