it has been mentioned maybe my cam is a tooth off (based on the numbers it's giving).

Now, with .595 lift, wouldn't a tooth off be enough to cause a valve to piston clearance issue?

 

Could be off a tooth advanced & open & close sooner. Usually moves the power band up advanced as well, vice-versa retardarded.

 

well, see this thread for my problems and see if it sounds like it could be the problem: http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=304350

 

This is just my personal opinion so take that for what it's worth. But I don't believe it would run anywhere near as good as it does if you were a tooth off. I would run crappy.
You bought this cam used. Didi you put a degree wheel on it to check the valve event timing? Maybe it was a bad grind anad that's why the guy was selling it?

 

Well, that's what I Was thinking, but it's been brought up more than once now. I'm pretty confident int he way it was installed, I've done a lot of cams in my day. But If all other possibilities are eliminated, I will go back in if I need to.
Nope, unfortunately I didn't have the time or equipment. You know how late the cam came in the ballgame. I had to kind of take him at face value for now.
