The real question is: Is Cam straight up or retarded? Could he possibly be advanced? Is his profile small? Is this Cam designed as a "roller" over the belt?

Those are some pretty good lines there... I have to thank my lucky stars every time I read replies like these. :D Really put a smile on my face tonight.
I'm presenting on electromagnetic valves tomorrow in a technical communications class, and just wanted a statistic to drop when I talk about some of the advantages of EMV versus conventional mechanical drivetrains.
(Chuck- could you imagine driving your L-88 with 4 different sets of cam timing in it? One for 1000-2500 rpm, one for 2500-4000, one for 4000-5500, and one for 5500-7000...? What an exciting notion...)
