<<<Mr Lilleys cam has about 8 degrees increased duration and NO increase in lift at the cam  It is after all a stock cam reground to different specs >>>

That is NOT the truth Mr. Donalds...

While it is a stock cam IT DOES HAVE increased lift at the cam... also an increase in duration.
It has the same profile on both the intake AND exhaust.  Combined with the light weight (used lighter rockers to avoid using heavier springs to better control the valve when using increased lift)ratio rockers it has really good low end power.
