Cam ID help.



Wow, thanks for the quick help guys.

Any way to tell how high this is going to push the power band??  I love my 
low end torque(2L ABA, JH head). Will I still be able to drop the power band 
back down with an adjustable cam gear to make it feel "the same" but with 
more power?
I've never really played around with cam gears much, and I've only had 
experience with a stock cam and my G-grind.

Thanks again
-George
