I agree. I have tried to study them, but just when you think you got them figured out, you realize you are only scratching the surface.

I just read a 7 page article on "camshaft truths" on the web written by an engineer.

What did I get out of the 7 pages of theory and mumbo jumbo...nothing...lol.

He basically was stateing the importance of "camshaft timing events" and how they relate to RPM.

Just try to get one that matches your combinations "potential" flow and RPM range. Thats about all you can do, unless you have the resources to experiment and custom grind your own, and even then, it would only be optimal only on your exact particular engine.
