Okay, I'm a little confused by the info being passed along in this thread. If I'm reading things right, the "custom cams" in question have .030 inches more lift, but upwards of 70 degrees less duration? The additional lift should help scavange the chamber to a greater extent. Without knowing how the intake and exhaust durations compare to stock it's tough to even start figuring what the effect on performance might be. From my days of playing with a small block Chevy engine, I seem to remember that less duration and overlap resulted in smoother idle and low end => usually not higher hp/torque figures.
Hasn't Cobb played around with cams in the EG33?
