[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 3130576, member: 27518"] Dunno about you guys, but the cam makers are really going overboard with their claims about cams being able to 'cover' compression ranges from 10.5 - 13.5 Sure, you could, but that would also mean NOT FOLLOWING their cam degree specifications on the cam sheet. Heck, if cams were that great that it can be used on a wide range of engines, then why did they bother with stage 1/2/3 rating? sounds a little like utter marketing BS to me. If talking about cams, I think it's time the cam marketeers drop the advertised duration comparison and start talking about the actual durations at 1mm, or .050" like the US manufacturers are starting to use. Of course, that wouldn't happen, because people would realize that those 'high' duration cams are just mild cams with a very mild (not aggresive) ramp angle. There's a reason why 'roller-cams' exist, and it's due to the fact that real, crazy high duration cams would kill your timing belt in no time, and that's why they came up with roller cams for the B-series.
