Everyone that complains about needing to know specs should really understand cams. Just because Cam A has more duration at .050 (Where cams are rated) doesn't mean it is a bigger cam!!!

Example and then it can go back on topic..
Com 240 XER lobe
.006 - 289* duration
.050 - 240* duration
.200 - 161* duration
.605 lift
My proposed Lobe
.006 - 260
.050 - 220
.200 - 160
.600 lift
What lobe is bigger?
What would you be more concerned with in your motor clearing things?
But the 240 XE-R is sooo much bigger at .050 than the proposed 220. See where I am going?

ok...i drove the car today(no dyno #'s ti'll wednesday)but the car has a mess of new power. last year i had a set of ported heads with the g5x2 cam. all i did was swap in the AFR's and the g5x3 cam. also last year(and this year) on my nittos if i would roll the car to 25-30mph then stomp the gas the car would only chirp the tires and go. now when i stomp the gas at the same speed it blows the tires off and hits the 6,800rpm limiter fast,i can't keep up. the car feels like it lost 500lbs,it has more power all over even at the low rpm's where i should of lost lowend due to the bigger cam,it's that much faster. remember..i'm still on the old tune.if you need to buy heads you will not go wrong with the AFR'S. I WANT TO SAY THANKS TO AFR AND TONY FOR BUILDING A GREAT PRODUCT THAT DOES DELIEVER. THANKS TO LG MOTORSPORTS FOR SELLING ME THE HEADS AND CAM. mike c.
