what I was trying to point out, the duration on the card, is quite long, but measured at .050 the duration is quite close to a megacycle.

FWIW, The RC cams, at least some.. were ground by Engle.. I think they were around a little while....

 I do wonder a bit about the big clearance, and suspect it is partly for lubrication..

I ran an engle roller cam in my big block dragster about 12 years ago, .748 lift, forget the duration, made really nice power.

Make sure you change the cam chain for sure, regardless of witch cam you use.

true that, still looking for high perf tensioner options besides just the actual tensioner, thought I saw a conversion to better rollers somewhere but can't find it now to save my life.
