Anyone heard from @Wyrmrider lately?

Absolutely. And I hope I’m not coming across as critical of guys of his caliber, in no way am I questioning his knowledge or experience. I think it’s safe to say that he is a part of the “one track mind“ fast rate cam lobe brigade that always got injected into every cam discussion, not so much lately though. But like you said, “Trade-offs” and like I initially said “I would add that just because you have a .904” lifter doesn’t always mean you need to take advantage of it”. Me? I’ll pass and try and make up for whatever shortcomings there might be elsewhere, or just go roller
Well.....in his defense, you can argue the fast rate of lift stuff will make more power every time in comparison. So he is actually trying to help in that regard.

Now whether every single build needs to be maximized is another opinion altogether. Plenty of builds runnin around out there with Chevy lobes that are fast and their owners are happy. That's what it's all about.
