Thanks John. Seems a HiPo crank and an Alger potentially have something in
common. The 5 bolt 289 in my Tiger was "purported" to have been a HiPo.
However, the balancer and the heads tell a different story. It definitely
does not have a standard cam. It's a solid lifter , with .460/280-ish
numbers. At the time I was using zero to zero for the duration measurement
instead of .006 and .050 (didn't know better). The zero to zero measurements
were a little over 300 duration.
Anyway, that cam is probably where the HiPo terminology was erroneously
applied to my motor. Not an issue, I was expecting a 260 so I did get a
little "bonus."
