When I started this thread I wanted a better sense of where the motor was at compression-wise, and now feel like I'm as close as I'm going to get. And it appears that I could likely get a hp boost with similar duration but with more lift. But you may be right. Maybe not enough to be worth a change at this time.
I'll still call some cam grinders/companies and see what they recommend.
I have the new timing cover sitting on the bench. My old one corroded enough that it started leaking to the outside where it meets the block. Thankfully not into the oil, which I hear they can do? Anyway, some time back I cleaned the coolant passages on each side and applied The Right Stuff inside and so far it has not leaked again. So I can wait until I figure out whether to also do a cam change.
It's not broke, so maybe I shouldn't fix it yet!! :lol:
