cam profile

I was wondering what dimensions the cam profile is using in the game.

Re: cam profile

The cam profile is a rating scale that takes into account lift, duration, valve spring stiffness, and overlap. It is not tied to any specific dimensions. Higher numbers have more lift/duration/overlap, and stiffer springs.

That said, I find it much easier to have a 0-100 scale than to specify:
184* duration @ .050", 0.370" lift, 114* lobe separation angle, and a 300 lbs/in spring rate... :?
