Eric's cam challenge

Killer6 said
That's not what I stated, I stated the "average guy" wasn't talking picking cams based on the @.050" numbers, they were picking them based on the general advertised durations. Magazine articles started bumping up the awareness that for example, not all 292° cams are the same, the average Joe started actually looking at/for them.....the DC/MP catalogs or racing manuals NEVER published @.050" specs, putting the .850 conversion in there was the response to what I stated, which is 100% fact.

Yup. Mopar Performance since it was Hustle Stuff has said not to choose camshafts based on .050" duration too. Right from the beginning. It all still in the latest edition of the MP engine manual. RIght there in black and white about how the .050" duration isn't the best criteria for choosing a camshaft. Now, when you drop camshafts such as the MP cams out of the equation, then the .050" rule levels the playing field more. It's still far from the end all be all though.
