I know every one is going  .  1.I got an idea of what lope separation is.But why do some cams have a 110 or 114 separation.Whats the advantage or disavantage to more or less serparation. 2.Lift is just the amount the valve is opened.
Lift duration is the amount of time the valve is open. What and why would want more lift or duration. And why is it measured at .050.
And why is advertised duration different then at .050. And any other information would be great. Thanks for the help again. ------------------

As far as i know, more lift and duration meens that you will get more air/fuel flowing through into the cylinder.Duration is measured at .050" because that is the time when we are to assume that the valves open enough to start flowing air. I guess that advertized duration shows when the cam actually starts it's lobe, so this would show you along with the .050 measurement the velocity of the intake/exhaust sweep Wider Lobe separation gives a flatter torque curve than a narrow one (the greater LDA provides less peak power, and the smaller LDA provides more, but only for a short rpm range) ------------------

Thanks for the help.So what is the range of the numbers of lope separation.
Like a 110 would be more flat then a 114.
But does that tell you an rpm number that the power will be made in? And how much lift can stock heads take. ------------------

A 114 would be a flatter than a 110It doesn't tell you what rpm the engine will make it's best power in no. and i have no idea about the heads, sorry ------------------

Ron,The only mistake you can make with a cam swap is to overcam it. Your intake, heads, converter, and gears have to work together in the same rpm range. So a cam that'll pull in the 2000-5500 range will work good.
A 3000-6500 cam will slow your car down.  This will be the right cam latter with a 750 Holley, RPM intake, good heads, exhaust, 3500 stall converter, and 4.10 gears.  SteveW
