I already answered the question of the cam specs regarding one of the engines in question. I suggested that it was short on duration. Maybe you missed it.

I forget, are we talking about the great off the shelf cams or the bad custom cams, or problems with specific custom cams or the problems with Tim's build?

Just my opinion, The bigger ratio will act like a faster ramp, stock spring pressure may not control the acceleration and your lifters will be playing basketball with the cam. There is the possibility of the retainers hitting the valve guides, also a chance of coil bind. If the heads flow more with the higher lift you would gain some power.

If we're talking great off the shelf cams why did the op spend the vast majority of the first 2 pages bad mouthing custom cams and why was he the first one to mention Bob and MK by name? If were talking bad custom cams then how come first it was specific profiles, but we can't name them, then it was custom lobe profiles but when we find out the owner of cam motion designs them were back to just mystery problems with no specifics. If we're talking about the problems with Tim's builds why don't we discuss them being built in a garage with the input of half a dozen people, flooded with water, burned down then run for a season and dynod in full marine dress when we are discussing his power. There's a reason Gellner gets paid to assembly engines. Oh, and how many of your friends or professional builders would have replaced a head for you because you stuck a lifter in a bore? Edit- I come on this thread to ask legit questions of the op as to whether my engines have issues based on his accusations and I get told to move on and I get pms just for asking. Yeah right, guess again.

It's the same ol same ol. Some people have come to the conclusion that jiffy peanut butter may not be the greatest peanut butter in the world. If you've tasted the peanut butter and you did not like it that's too bad, you are wrong because lots of people think this peanut butter is super awesome even thou they've only spread it on their bread and haven't even tasted it. Yet somehow they know it is the greatest. Quite the marketing program Jiffy has. Well done.
