Little story of picking cams...
Few years ago I was putting together another engine. Decided that I have put together enough engines I know what I am doing. Researched the cams on my own. Lift, duration, overlap, centerline, all that stuff. Made a educated selection. It was horrible. It was a jeckle and hyde cam. 2-stroke dirt bike. nothing then everything, black and white.
So while replacing the rear main seal which I did not get right I decided on another cam. This time I called every cam company I could find. Took everyones advise, piled it together and got a slightly different cam. I mean slightly different, don't remember the exact differences, but I know I picked up a lot more lift and changed the duration numbers a degree or two here and there. Whole different engine. Still has a big cam idle, but diesn't stall when dropped into gear. before I could pull away from a stop sign at half throttle in the rain and not worry. Now I have low end and that would result in a smoke show in the dry.
Cam company advise is good.
