Some info on Jim's 272 grind and the variations available for Gnarly's spreadsheets:
"The 272 cam has 232 @.050 on the intake and the exhaust has 220 @.050. The lift is 430 at the valve . It can be ground on a 110, 112, 114 lobe separation. Intake center line is 105. We can also flip the profile around so the exhaust has the 232."
I just asked him to make me whatever variation would be best for a carbed truck with smaller tires and good gearing that I want to wind out a bit , idle quality and bottom end negligible. Plan to use it in an engine I will make for my stock-ish 1980 pickup.
Hmmm... those numbers don't seem to compute?
To have an LSA of 110 the ECL would have to be 115 if the ICL is 105? That puts the cam timing advances 5 degrees?
