Raced last nite & car ran great. Thanks for all the help!

I know the cam card says .479 lift, intake lobe center is 108, exhaust lobes 110 or higher, SAE duration is 292. Im racing sat/sun this weekend & see how it does.

Old rob what would you suggest...

I put my old hardened followers in & comp jumped from 110 up to 160-165 on all 4 cylinders.
I have the cam card but some numbers are smeared making it hard to read.
Thanks 1195 for all the info,...

I just reset the cam yet again last nite, sounds great in garage but is a turtle under load. I tried advancing it this past sat & it was way worse. Turned it back down for feature & it ran a little...

Cam is a clevite performance 229-2047 hyd roller, cam card says .479 lift, 292 duration 108 lobe center on intake 11x (can't read last digit on exh.) seems a bone stock cam would be better than this...

Raced 4 nites so far and the car is flat out SLOW and I cannot for the life of me figure out why...
Bottom end is stock crank/rod .030 over KB pistons with windage tray, just put all new bearings in...
