G-Grind Cam

[marc_scirocco@yahoo.ca (Marc scirocco Québec)]

Muhahahaha, that's a new way to choose a cam:
At the local speed shop - How old are you?
18 - here's a wild one for you.
50 - a stocker for you.

BTW I am 35, drive fast around town street-highway
(Mister Pieds Lourde, that's me), and I don't really
want a lumpy idle...

Just that I thought that a bigger displacement motor
could take a wilder cam without running like a 3/4
race cam would do...

Cheers.
