Greg, from what I know, that doesn't sound like a performance camshaft; the
duration is not very much, but I'm not sure.
Plus the cam rise isn't very much either. I think mine was like .4 and a 270
deg. duration.
Where did you get this cam and what is it in particular? If you lined up the
two marks on the crankshaft and camshaft gears, then your cam should be lined
up properly.
