yeah they sure can, i think the best way as mentioned is to dial them in as the card specifies and then run it up on the dyno and tune them specific to your setup

Agreed.... BUT once dialed in they are making peak power at or very close to the rpm stated..............

So... although you can move the powerband around... I seriously doubt you'll make peak power(or anything close to peakpower) with 272 cams on a stock 4AGE with stock management(stock redline)


So I re-ask my questions.......
So.... if "your" engine doesn't go above 8k(stock rev limiter is 7500)......... are you getting more performance from the longer duration cams even though you never get to the peak???

Assume for now that on a stock engine, or one limited to say 8k.... Wouldn't modifing the intake closing event and the lift on a 256 cam be the way to tune it????

Or to put it another way.... if you are not planning on spinning over 8k rpm... is there a benefit to running a cam with duration that is designed to make peak power above that rev limit????
