Cam Spec question
 
Below are some of the specs for my cam. Can someone tell me how my motor should be behaving? I have some good lift #s, but the duration #s look a little low. Does the low duration mean my power band will be lower in the RPM range? I recently dyno'd my car and the peak HP occured at 4500RPM.

Lift
Intake .499
Exhaust .510

Duration
Intake 275
Exhuast 279

Thanks

The duration seems normal for a good mid range NA cam, for instannce my cam pulls from 2500-6500 I have 280/288 or 228/236 @ .050. What are the rest on the numbers on your cam so I an help you, when do the valves open and close, lobe centerline, is it advanced, etc.. Can you scan the cam card?
