If you see 2 cams with the same duration at .050 and different durations at .020. The one with more at .020 has a more aggressive lobe/ramp

Yup. More detail will always help differentiate between two cams that "look" the same.
 
IMO the comp would have done the job you described just fine. I run a very mild solid flat tappet Racer Brown in my 408. It only has .495 lift after lash and with 3.23 gears, 28" tall tires and big traction problems my 3700 lb car will still break in the 11's. That to me proves that valve lift is just relevant. If the heads (like mine) flow great at low lifts you don't need a big ole honkin cam to make power

Truth. I'm at 500ft/lbs by 4000rpm. 255/263 @ .050" and .643lift on both. Solid roller. Pulls to 7000rpm.

To the OP, you'll be happy with your choice. Definitely get the heads checked out. If you're an auto car I would be looking at a converter that will stall to 3k, will make launches more fun and not slip enough to annoy you out cruising.

I agree 100%...then again i'm not a fan of comp cams..
 
RustyRatRod I owe you an apology for my reply to your post, it was over the top, excessive and unnecessary. I apologize.

There are more ways to skin a cat and as long as everyone is happy with their skinning method all is good.

For the sake of discussion, please explain the significance of the .004 and .006" duration numbers in an application like the OP.
