Sounds more like the Rhoades lifters setup to me.

Hey guys,
I?ve been reading through the updated/revised book on the Fish carburetor I am going to be using on the stroker build.? There was an interesting paragraph that briefly discussed how they had some custom camshafts ground, which increased the intake duration ? way through the compression stroke, basically making an 8:1 engine act like a 16:1.? The torque curve would keep climbing way up past 4,000 RPM and at higher RPMs the engine had almost a ram effect to it (self-supercharging).? On a 350 motor they did this to, the mileage increased from 16 to 23 MPG and the power increase was amazing.? The carb company (somewhat like a co-op) had the cams custom ground by either Crane or Comp Cams, I think ? but since they were more like a co-op, they stopped promoting it because they were getting inundated with phone calls asking how to set up their engines for such a cam, instead of being able to focus on producing the Fish carburetors (from 1983-1996).
?
Has anyone ever heard of such a cam setup?? It sounds REALLY interesting and promising.? Thanks.
 
Sincerely, 
Greg Taylor :) <><
