Here's my monster cam specs. Think you can hang with this baby? This is rocket science right here!

intake/exhaust
.006 duration 284/280
lift .474/.483
.050 intake open 6 btdc close 50 abdc
.050 exhaust open 48 bbdc close 4 atdc
duration at .050 236/232
lobe lift .3160/.3220
separation 112

You can see there's only 10 degrees of overlap. That's as tight as we could get it without going to a custom blank.
Keep in mind that this cam was ground 10 years ago. Comp wasn't doing a lot of turbo cams since turbos V8s weren't very common.
Much has changed since this thing was built. I'm sure people know far more about turbo cams now than they did then. However, this thing makes decent power. You can't argue with that.


Your overlap is 58 degrees. It makes no sense to give overlap at .050 although I see lots of confusion from even folks that should know better. I don't mean that cam is wrong for your application and overlap done right is a good thing.
