I'm sure if the same questions were asked in their shop with money in
hand, the end user would get much more information and a camshaft
they required.
When I read posts from the cam design members, I take away something
new each time, however I don't expect them to hold my hand and give
away secrets, or do all the work for me without a dime to their name.
Try this experiment:
Walk into a speed shop empty handed and start asking questions about
a product.
Observe response.
Do the same thing with a few $100.00 bills in hand.
Observe response.
Having said that, when I read through this post I can make better judgement
on LSA and some timing events for the application.
Unless we're willing to spend hours on a dyno/track to test these
tips, we have nobody to blame but ourselves for accepting the info.
Hopefully nobody here is expecting an internet cam recommendation
to be 100% optimized for their motor?
