There's no need to send you mine. it's the same as the 496 you already posted.

Good point. Unfortunately, I do not have dyno results from all of them, just a few. Some don't even dyno.

What I find interesting, is , the similarities between these camshafts. Whether we are talking about a 440ci big block, or a blown 555ci, there isn't a ton of difference in the cams.

A 9:1 540 with GM heads, gets basically the same cam as a 540 with afr heads and nearly close to 10:1 static. And everyone thinks they are getting some one off highly detailed cam design for their "specific" package.

Any reversion issues with that light bulb sucking in negative electrons?
