    I think you really need to take a refresher course in dyno terms, my friend. "Peakier" means in comes on and rolls off faster, which would result in a sharper "peak" when you graph it out. "Lower end" torque would mean more torque on the lower end. I'm not really sure how else to state it. If your operating range is 3,200-6,500rpm then moving the peak torque closer to to 3,200rpm would be "lower end". Pretty self explanatory there. If the manufacturer calls out that operating range (which, remember, is only an estimate), then peaky torque is perfectly fine, especially if that peak is around 3,500-4,000, which is right where I launch this thing.

    Only one site lists the split lift you keep referencing. Like I said, CP link I have provided twice now, the cam card from Elgin, and my degree wheel, mics, and dial indicator all say that you are misinformed. I chose this cam very carefully to work with the rest of my combo. The catalog listing it as a roundy round cam is largely irrelevant; both circle track and strip applications need torque for the same purpose, which is getting out of the hole in a hurry.

    I already outlined my combo, but just to reiterate: I'm running a Muncie behind a light flywheel, currently with 3.70s in the rear but 4.10s next season, with a mini spool. Thanks for your permission to run my cam, but this combo has been running, and running hard, for the last two years.

    Take care of yourself, old timer. I'm gonna go eat my birthday cake now.
