cam specs......i think i'm disappointed

I was told when i bought the car....that it has a .509 lift cam

much to my disappointment, i found that it has .400 lift at the valve.....

Looking on the Mopar perfromance parts page, I don't see any B/RB Purple cams listed with less than .430 lift. The stock cam as listed in the Mopar engine book is .410 lift. Something just doesn't seem right about your measurement. :scratch: You may want to take the rocker arm out of the equation and just measure the cam lobe directly off one of the lifters. And measure 3 or 4 different lobes to check for wear.
