The Right Curve, stop dinkin' with what I write. If you want to write your own rebuttal, do it on your own wiki article. This info was taken from Crane Cams and is valid information for fellows who know nothing at all about choosing a cam, and that includes most of the fellows who come on this forum asking questions.

{{Note1}} Some dynamic compression ratio calculators (like KBs) ask for an additional 15 degrees of duration be added to the IVC @ 0.050" lift point figure. This works OK on older, slower ramped cam lobes, but the faster lobe profiles may need to have 25 degrees or more added to be accurate.
