Hello, I have a cam question that I have never seen asked before. Take 2 cams that I have under consideration. Cam #1 Crane 200511 total intake duration 248@004. Cam #2 Clevite 229-1878 total intake duration 273@004. Thats quite a difference but at .050 the crane is 192 and the clevite is 194 almost the same. The crane opens and closes the valve much faster than the clevite. Other than faster ramps would there be any difference in performance? Would the crane have a big difference in duration at say 200 lift? Is this what is talked about when people say "under the curve"? It would seem to me that in this case that the clevite would be the better choice because it opens and closes the valve more gently or am I missing something? Is there some advantage to opening and closing the valve more quickly? If this post is in the wrong area please feel free to move it. Jay
