Re: [Classic Mustang] ...and speaking of camshafts...

I'm not an expert but I've noticed a trend towards higher lifts and moderate duration.

This has the advantage of improving valve open time without all the overlap associated with long durations.

 

This can result in more overal power throughout the rpm range.

 

Consider a 1.7 roller rocker on a small duration cam to boost lift.

 

My 2 cents

Er, that's good info, but it doesn't help me with figuring out what
grind/lift/duration /etc to be looking for. Still, I'll keep Isky in mind.
