A custom solid flat tappet camshaft for a Ford FE core by Bullet Cams.

Lobe Separation Angle shall be 110 degrees.

The cam should be ground with 6 degrees advance so that when installed the intake center line will be 104 degrees and the exhaust center line will be 116 degrees.

If the lobes are not already nitrided, have them do that as well.

-------------------

FWIW, the FF284/357 lobes are spec'd at

Advertised --- 284 degrees
At .050 --- 255 degrees
At .200 --- 169 degrees
Lift .3570
Lash .011
Type CRA

I think you put a few words in my mouth, Patrick....my message to you was way shorter than that....LOL

Just so you know, if you want to "speak the lingo" when you order this cam, you don't have to give them the intake centerline and exhaust centerline. Just give them the core, lobe numbers, LSA, and how much advance you want.

When you give an LSA and advance, it's understood what the intake centerline is....then the LSA is the ICL and ECL added together divided by 2. I don't want Richard thinking you're a ying-yang.
