Interesting - Cam profiles
« on: 20 February 2009, 14:53:55 »
Did a quick measurement on the A and G cams out of a 3.0 V6.

The profiles are as follows:



You will note that the G cam has the same lift but has a longer duration!

Not much difference other than that!

Quite a bit on the inlet, much less so on the exhaust

Longer duration is better than more lift.
Too much overlap though will result in very 'lumpy' idle speed, and an 'unsociable' drive at low mph.

Elementary, the G cams hold the valve open longer.....and hence more air can get in easier
