I received my Crower cam the other day but after further listening to some more people from other mustang boards I'm sending it back.
For those who don't know, I order a cam from Crower with the following specs:

298*/304* (224/234 @.050)
.498/.520
112 LSA

I was told the those ramp rates were "lazy" and that I need a more aggressive ramp rate plus a tighter LSA (108-110)
I was also advised to look for something with more duration at .050 and less advertised duration.
I guess my current cam specs are a tell tale sign of slow ramp rates.
I really need to know what to do here. I 'm kinda leaning towards sending it back and buying a Comp Cam(magnum series)
