Ahh, that makes sense. I knew there was something I didn't know. I'm a small block guy, always looking to learn something new. Thanx.
As for the article, I have it at home somewhere. But I don't think I could post it because of copyright rules. There are some good tech articles on their web site, though. Their article on cam basics is a lot more thorough than most mags print.
