Default Cam Specs

Don... Thanks for the cam specs. I called Comp today and ordered the same cam, but in a roller configuration. They were able to give me the same timing and duration specs (232-236) 110 lobe separation, but said that with 100 more cubes and being a roller cam they should increase the lift to .565-.570 instead of the .519-.523. Response should be the same, but take better advantage of the TF-R heads.
He also told me about a new distributor gear that's out from them that's a new compound....Say's it'll wear 2-3 times better than a bronze or hardened steel gear. $100..... Pretty pricey, but after less than 5,000 miles with a bronze gear and a stock oil pump my gear had teeth paper thin on it. If the valve hadn't dropped the distributor would have given out within a couple of hundred miles or sooner!
Anyway....It should be interesting to see what the new engine does. It's in route now and all pieces should be here within a week or so.
Thanks again!
Bill
