Wow, that's pretty impressive. Better power under the curve, higher peak torque, and similar peak HP numbers to a cam with 10 degrees more duration on both sides! That has to be a VERY aggressive profile for those lift numbers on that duration. I would probably need to go with the latest, greatest patriot duals for the newer, more aggresive cam profiles. I'm not sure, but if I were to ever go with a cam like that, I'd want to swap springs out regularly.

I am intrigued by that cam, but I think that's an awfully aggressive ramp rate for a daily driver. I think I'd be more comfortable with the 228R on a 112+2. My DCR calcs come out to an exact 8.70, which is just right. This will be with a .055" stock gasket, which will net a .042" quench. I'd like to squeeze the quench a bit, but I'd probably need to take another degree of advance out of the cam.
