I understand Andy, but the tools i'm using are the same tools i used to install about a dozen or so other cams and i have not ever notice the indicator stall on the nose of the cam for this long of a duration of time. Not a big deal, just thought i might have a better ground lobe than what was on my other roller cams in the past. Adding duration on the nose of the cam, allowing the valve to stay open a bit longer at max lift would be cool or am i wrong in thinking that.
You aren't wrong about the duration. I always measure the duration at 050 and then at 200 and sometimes at even higher lift. The more aggressive lobes will have more duration at higher lift. Measure the duration at 300 or 400 sometimes and compare that between lobes and you'll see. Of course the downside is that lobes with lots of duration at higher lifts are usually much harder on the valvetrain since everything is just getting beat to heck.
