More lift with a given duration compared to most solid cams. Although more modern grinds with higher lift rates are available nowadays, I would be less concerned about lifter wear on a 1.00" mushroom compared to the standard .904" diameter.


I didn't mean tryng to achieve mechanically, I was asking if there was a performance goal in mind that wouldn't be able to be reached without going to a mushroom style cam.
