Most anybody can give you is a random guess...

Let me explain...I had Comp custom grind me a cam to a certain spec. They screwed up and ground in too much advance so I sent it back and they ground me a new cam on a new blank. The base circles of both cams were different even though they were both the same spec duration and lift. So you can't always compare base circles for the same cam.

When I called MTI last year and asked them they said they didn’t know and to call Comp Cams. I called Comp and they had no idea what I was talking about and said to call MTI since they sold the cam.
