If you buy the wrong cam for $365 and get a 50HP increase that is $7.3 per HP. If you buy the right cam for say $475 and pickup up 100HP that is $4.75 per HP. For those that are on a budget the second option sounds like a better deal for your money.

My average in "drag cars" is .3th quicker. So you tell me what kind of HP increase does it take to do that.

depends how fast the car is
but I agree with you on the HP/$, or ET&mph/$

How would the low duration, tight LSA concept work in a low rpm tow application?

For example, a buddy of mine has a 1-ton chevy with a 468, 781's, 7.7:1, performer manifold, tri-y headers, 3310 Holley and a 268H comp cam. It runs really good and pulls down about 10 mpg towing.

The 268H is ground on a 110 LSA and has 48 degrees of overlap. What if he swapped in a 256 cam ground on a 104 LSA for the same 48 degrees of overlap. Would it run a lot better?

I can attest for the expertise of Chris in putting together a combo. I called him and gave him all my specs at the time. Without hesitation he was able to tell me how my engine ran and the problems I was having without me saying a word. ( combo used to hit a wall about 5000-5200 ) We put together a combo based on my needs and wants and it is unbelievable. So much power from idle to redline! The best advise I can give is to listen to the experts like Chris, there is a reason for the reputation they have. If he tells you it will make power it will. Also for what its worth I have a 510 bbc 4.31x4.375 with AFR 290 and Straub hyd roller 243-243 @ .050 with 10.75 comp peaking @ 6100.
