Damn, too bad you're not into drag racing. Short and skinny: A narrow midget kart seat-extra cage room, and weighing just over 100lbs is like a measly 10hp loss to the car. Want to run down the strip a few times for me? Hell, that's another 100lbs off my car

Like this....
Perhaps a picture will help you understand things a bit more. Again, you are getting hung up on one point on the cam (lift @ .050) vs the whole lobe (which is a common mistake). So, lets look at this 256 lobe .
BBC lobe 3358 on a BBC core is 254 degrees (goes to ~256 on a LS1) lift @ .200 is 163. Gross duration is 310. Lift with a 1.7 rocker is .575
Now lets compare that lobe to the 'ultra mild' 232 XE-R. I mean come on its 20 degrees smaller. Its a baby lobe right? You tell me...
The XE-R 232 lobe is 232 @.050 153@.200 and 281 gross with .595 lift w 1.7 rocker
Lets look at the 242/242 106LSA 105 ICL (Aussie cam)
Lets compare a 242 BBC Marine lobe to a 242 XE-R lobe
BTW, the blue line is the BBC lobe.
As you can see, bigger in one part the same in others, and smaller somewhere else... Does this help?
