Re: How to convert cam specs from .020 to .050
Hmm, that would be real tough to do. You could plot an approximation with enough data points but it's still just an educated guess.
It's tough because it depends on the lobe's acceleration rate. Different types of lobes have different acceleration rates... ie, solid flat tappet vs solid roller and/or max-area hydraulic vs you-name-it... They're all different, even among same type cams from different companies.
Have you thought about calling the cam company and asking for the information? Would probably be your best bet.
