It's a little strange when you think about it; stroke is the same for both wedge and hemi. The Cammer has greatly increased breathing (although I never saw flow figures on those or Coon's heads) than the wedge. Conventional wisdom says that's a HP booster. So what accounts for the greater torque spread so low-down on the Cammer?
Given the stroke is the same, I can only guess the cam profiles on the Cammer promote torque earlier. Possibly the VE of the Cammer is superior at the 2500 RPM level where the wedge usually needs 4000+ ??
Keith, Brent, Barry-you guys have built and dynoed these. Care to enlighten?
