Mach 1In terms of pure overlap, duration also has to be considered.

Try that link for an in depth explaination. Duration does affect overlap, and lift affects overlap area. The F303 has quite a bit of overlap as well. The actual way overlap functions is related to ramp rates, lift, duration, LSA, and LCA.

Cams suck. It's my little area of interest now. It's gonna be a while before I learn what I want to know, which is a lot. LOL. Everytime I think I have a little better grasp on how they work, there is another variable. Like sending a shuttle to the moon.

RayC76 You might get 10hp if you get an awesome cam. You might lose 10hp if you get an okay cam. My uncle had a couple cams recommended to him. The recommended Lunati was a POS. Wouldn't even index. The Comp Cam he was recommended and purchased performed crappy with his combo.
