RE: cam number question

instead of asking here why don't you go on comps website and do some research...you might learn a thing or 2. Everything you seek is already out there, you just need to look for it.

RE: cam number question

262 is the advertised duration, or duration at 0.005" of lift for Comp. Some companies will list duration at 0.001" as the advertised. The defacto duration is at 0.050" and is a spec listed by all companies.
