cam lobes
i had a stock lt1 cam in my motor and slid it out for a slp 51005 cam when i had them next to each other the slp one seemed to have fatter lobes (duration) but the lt1 lobes seemed taller (more lift) whats going on? also both being roller the stock lt1 was billet but the slp one wasnt (althought hte lobes were polished unlike a flat tappet ) is that normal too at this point im really confused
thanx steve

well i know the lt1 cam has like a 447 459 lift while the slp cam should have a 495 502 lift .... so the lobes should be bigger correct ? well it seems like there not im wondering if maybe the cam isnt what it is although it is clearly labled on the back of the cam it self and it new in the box maybe im jsut worring to much

I remember thinking similar thoughts when I replaced my 86's peanut cam (.350 and .385) with a Crane PowerMax 260 (.427 and .454). But I could sure tell the difference on the Go pedal when it was all buttoned back up!
