Has anyone used this cam in service long enough to report on its behavior? Their spec page shows it having longer duration and lower lift than the stock 261 truck cam. I'm wondering what that will do to torque in the 2500-2800 RPM range.

I suspect he (Hot Rod Lincoln) needs a roundtoit.

I still have one (roundtoit) I bought in a second hand store about 50 years ago. I might let it go for the right sort of trade.
