Correction on the cam. It is a .488/.488 lift with a 284/284 duration. 218/218 at .050 inch lift. The supported RPM range is 1500-5000. So now I understand why it acted stupid at 5200-5500. Or at least I think I do. I am not a camshaft guru by any means. I know what valve overlap is and I think that at the high rpm range, it probably has a lot of valve overlap. Thus, it quit pulling. But, I still don't understand why did it want to hover at those rpms? Where's PKRWUD when you need him. LOL. I need a better cam, but it will have to wait until I get some good heads to go with it. That sucks.
