NAPA has a nice cam 190/198 with a .430/.439
lift add the 1.7 harland sharp rockers and its
a little better than the factory cam

and get this only $155

What these cam makers did to me is dumb every
after market cam has to mush lift for the stock
springs so a cam change is around $800 just for
the parts

now they could have made some cams with a .460
.480 lift to run with the stock springs they
would have sold a lot more cams

my 1 stroked motor is running a .484 lift stock
springs they floot around 5600rpm
268/272 at .005

stock lift .432 with 1.7 rockers around .460 and
there is a 18hp rear wheel gain right there around
20 25 torque gain is average

depending on how the cams were speced
250/264 190/198 240/248

all spec diff
some at .004, .005 .050

this also makes it hard for the average guy to
know what he is getting

also the center line
110/114
112/112
114/114
