Reply to "408c cam spec advice"

That cam is a single pattern cam, it uses the same lobe for intake and exhaust. Bullet has a lobe that is damn near spot-on:

HR294/350

That's 294° advertised duration, 240° duration at 0.050", 0.3500" lobe lift. The lobe is rated "CRA" which means it has a conventional nose, its suited for "big block" valve train (large valves, high ratio rocker arms), and it has asymmetrical ramps.

So specify that lobe (HR294/350) for both intake and exhaust, specify a 109° "mathematic" intake lobe centerline and 119° "mathematic" exhaust lobe centerline. Specify a cam core that's compatible with Crane's steel distributor gear.

Since these lobes are asymmetrical the point of highest valve lift shall occur about 4 degrees earlier than the mathematic centerline. Bullet will have to provide the specifics.
