Question Camshaft power/torque curves

Does anyone know of a resource to refer to to find the power/torque curves of the popular cams on the market? I know Richard Holdener probably has the dyno sheet of every conceivable combination of cams and the like for any American engine, but does he or anyone else publish their findings?

Richard Holdener shows dyno charts on everything he has done in his videos.

Yes, I’ve watched a large quantity of them. But they’re not all on the same combination, so there’s too many factors between them to really get a proper idea of every cams’ effect on the curve in comparison to one another.

You compare the cam to others on the same engine; many times the stock one is done first. It's about how they relate to each other.
