If you were to get a custom grind would you go bigger on the lift/duration and keep the 117 CL? Or go bigger lift/duration and tighten the CL a bit?

For a roots type blower, 115 - 117 LSA is perfect. I don't think I would go any bigger on a 5.3.

if i were to change the durations of that cam i would make the split greater or change it to a reverse split but you have to make sure you keep negative overlap and a high LSA

It is hilarious....I put down a 13.8 with a shitty verter..... I am whoring the **** out of this thread.

And you also have no room to talk about the custom grind business....Did you not get you a Mike Jones cam a while back?..(who?...mike jones..what ....Mike jones)


Brandon, The reason i say a custom grind may be better is because you would be able to control your overlap, DCR, etc and not just settle for something that was premade. Its a gamble sometimes but then again, you still remain unique. I dont like to do what everybody else is doing.....Call me crazy.

Brandon, search the user Charris. He had a H2 with a 6L and radix, he had the trak cam if I remember correctly then switched to the gt2-3 and said it was a much better cam and I believe he dropped a tenth or two.

What type of effect would he see from a reverse split on his application? How wide of a LSA is too wide? Maybe I shouldn't use someone else's thread to answer some of my own cam questions
