I have the next milder Babe Erson grind in my 3. It has 280 deg duration
& 464 lift. The engine comes on very strong around 3500 RPM or a little
lower and keeps going through my self imposed 6,000 RPm redline. It has
lots of low end torque and idles fine at 700 RPM. I'm happy with mine too.
Ken gets around $100 + core for them.
Greg Solo has been playing aroung with cams & seems to be doing some
interesting things. You also might check to see what he has.
