So perhaps you could offer some of your experience as to the effects?
I guess "Cams with my own specs" sounds a bit better than what I really mean by it.. I´m not a "camshaft engineer" or anything, but I´ve read some on the subject, been lucky to have been able to hang around people which have been building rallycross cars and engines and competed , tested some ideas that seemed logic, watched other people tested things with various results (mostly good results ) and so on.

Luckily I don´t need to reinvent the gunpowder to have a big blast, so I contacted someone who makes camshafts, bounced some ideas of him and we decided lift, duration, timing etc and there you go, "cams with my own specs" By the computer here I have a specsheet with all there is to know about my cams, liftslopes and all. Usually when you buy cams you get info on duration, lift and how to time them. I think you will have a hard time trying to get the liftslopes from Pipers fast road cams, for example.

PS:
I´m assuming by the way you are writing and the numbers of " . " in a row, that you are beeing a little sarcastic and ironic. No need for that m8.
Correct me if I´m wrong.
Not trying to offend anyone, so if my writing comes out a little wrong, I don´t mean to.

Cheers,
L.
