Regarding the protocol used herein to measure and record cam timing, Web does not follow the convention I am using. Earlier in the post, I stated that I would be using lobe lift for the timing data, and valve lift for the curves. Unlike all the other cam manufacturers that I have dealt with in the past, and researched for this post, Web takes their timing data at the valve. The Web data is not gonna agree with my data. To make things even more interesting, the DR650 uses different rocker arms. The DR part numbers are different from the LS, so there’s no way to know that the rocker ratios are the same. The rocker ratio will certainly have a big impact on when the valve opens, and how far it opens. I suspect that’s why my data doesn’t agree with Web’s data sheets.
The graphs I did for the 402 grind and the 340b grind compare the new cams to the stock DR650 cam. Since I’m currently running the DR cam the comparison was more appropriate for my purposes. Don’t get confused by the graphs. If you want to see how the new grinds compare to a stock cam, you will have to plot your own graphs. All the data you will need is in this post.
