A quick analysis of Comp Cams using the info in the above link:

They've attempted to model their nomenclature after the very well known HKS cam grinds so one would be able to form rough expectations.

The overall lift is higher than the HKS equivalents, but the effective duration is slightly shorter. The Comp Cams' lifts are as follows:

264+ and 272+ - 11.0mm Int / 10.4mm Exh

280+ - 11.0mm Int & Exh


The Comp Cams' grinds use 104/112 lobe centerlines for the Int and Exh respectively. That means that when the cams are installed straight up, it's more or less like installing the respective HKS cams at +3/-1. My estimation is the Comp Cams will give a bumpier idle and bigger midrange torque than their HKS counterparts.

What about Revolver cams? Doesn't Revolver have 2 different cams or aren't they in the process of coming out with another?

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can about how cam specs affect everything. Can you please provide more in-depth info or point me in the right direction?

I ran across an old thread that I can't find for the life of me now, where somebody prominent in the DSM community (possibly David Buschur?) refers to a detailed article published in a performance magazine that he wrote on this exact subject matter but he also said that he couldn't find the links to the scanned article either.
Does anybody know of that article and if it's still available somewhere online?
