Thanks Chris. I used to think I knew a little about cams, then after looking into it more, found out I knew just about nothing. LOL. There really is a ton of knowledge that needs to be learned to be comfortable understanding how different camshaft specs (some little known to most people) can make huge differences.

I think the B303 with 1.7's vs the F303 is one of the best examples that can be made. The specs people are familiar with lift, and duration are almost exactly the same, yet those cam combos are worlds apart because of differences in LSA and LCA.

I was just hoping I got the post in before you did.

LOL, after a 10-15 min post or something like that, seeing somebody else posted exactly what you did 2min faster really makes you feel dumb. Hahahaha.
