Re: Compression and cam timing

What do you know about ramp rates ? I have been an engine builder all my life, and I dont know anything about them. The way people talk about camshafts.you would think it is easy for everybody to be a camshaft expert. What I do know about cams, learning from experiance is worth a lot. It is not that you know what works the best, BUT you know what DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. About cams in general, closer lobe centers work best for most engines. As the engine makes more HP per cubic inch, the wider centers, begine to look better. !08 is a very good lobe center for most engines
