hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows the lift , duration, opening and closing before and after TDC and BDC please?

And also if anyone has replaced them with aftermarket cams? If so, what did you use and what gains did you achieve?

Cheers,
Ryan

All I could find in some pubs I have was: NA8 cam lobe height intake: 1.736in (44.094mm); exhaust: 1.7559in (44.6mm).

Even Quithel <http://www.quithel.co.uk/> links to Randy Stocker's cam specs.
