go to the website or talk to Geoff at EPS,or Patrick-G.they do custom cams to match you head/intake flow and RPM needs.I don't totally understand cams but the EPS cams produce great results with smaller duration numbers.I plan on buying a cam from EPS myself.

Do a search for VRX5 on here and You Tube for videos/dyno graphs etc.
Give me a call if you have any other questions or would like to purchase a camshaft. We currently have 10% off all Comp products thru December to save you some cash!

I feel retarded explaining something to you Pred In all seriousness, ramps rates on Cam Motion cams are fast. On the exhaust side, the valve is open as the piston moves upward pushing the exhaust out. Right before the piston hits it the lifter starts on a downward slant. The ramps being quick on the Cam Motion will obviously yield to quick valve movements getting it away from the piston. Seems to me a softer ramp, everything else being the same, would move the valve slower and possibly make the valve be somewhat closer to the piston is said situation. I may be talking out of my *** though I am going to call the owner of Cam Motion (Kip) soon and talk over some details about their cams, and lobe design is gonna be one area I will pick his brain.

One measures PTV from about 10* BTDC to about 10* ATDC, what affects PTV mainly is Duration and The valve events chosen.
The shape of the lobe (agressive or non) has very little effect at the durations we run in general. For exemple XER Comp lobes are more agressive than standard Cam motion such as FM13 and such.

I know none of that really changes the bearing on your advice.....or maybe it does?
