[AMC-list] Cam grind specs

Don't bother trying to compare "advertised" or @.006 or .002 or .020,,, the
industry de facto standard is .050. Comparing at lower lifts gets you into
the "acceleration " area of the cam lobe and can give misleading figures.
.050 is not perfect but it's pretty darn good. Then there's that "lobe
centerline" thing,, but that's another story,,,,
GENERALLY speaking,,MOST,, "torque" grind cams are going to be "around" 220'
OR LESS @.050. AS ALWAYS I recommend you call the folks that GROUND the cam
and ask them for a recommendation. MOST of them are ready and quite willing
to offer advice,, there ARE exceptions to that rule though.
But HEY,,, that's just ME!!!
