Here is some cam information for all of those who miss it (Thanks Sredish from "another site")!

The Honda, and Hot cams are drop in cams which mean you can swap them out with out changing anything else. With the Megacycle and WEB cams you may need to change valve springs, cut valve guides, cut valve reliefs in the top of your piston depending on which one you choose.

Cam Terms

BDC (Bottom Dead Center): Point where piston is at the lowest point of it's rotation; measured in degrees.

Base Circle: The round portion of the cam lobe where the valve lash measurement is taken; the base from where the lobe dies into.

Cam Lobe: The part of the camshaft that performs the lift of the valve.

Duration: The length of time that the valve is held off the seat by the cam. This is measured by the degrees that the crankshaft rotates. Lower duration cams produce the power in the lower RPM range. Larger duration cams operate at higher RPM, but you will lose bottom end power to gain top end power as the duration is increased.

Lobe Center: The distance measured in degrees between the centerline of the intake lobe and the centerline of the exhaust lobe in the same cylinder.

Lobe Separation Angle (LSA): The Lobe Separation Angle is the degrees that the crankshaft rotates BETWEEN the exhaust valve’s maximum lift point (Exhaust Lobe Center) and the intake valve’s maximum lift point (Intake Lobe Center). This separation generally determines where peak torque will occur within the engine's power range. Tight lobe separations cause the torque to build earlier in the RPM range of the cam. The torque will be concentrated, build quickly and peak out. Broader lobe separations allow the torque to be spread over a broader portion of the RPM range to produce better power through the upper RPM.
LSA Formula = Intake Lobe Center + Exhaust Lobe Center / 2 (the average of the 2 lobe centers).

Overlap: The point where both the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time.
Overlap Formula = Intake Duration + Exhaust Duration /4 - LSA x 2 , or Add the intake opening to the exhaust closing.

Piston - Valve Clearance: The closest distance from the piston to the valves during the rotation of the piston through TDC, measured in thousandths.

Ramp Rate: The speed that the valve opens and closes.

TDC (Top Dead Center): Point where piston is at the highest point of it's rotation, closest to combustion chamber; measured in degrees.

Valve Float: When the speed of the engine is too great for the valve springs to control the valve, from fatigued springs, over revving the motor or a combination. The valves will stay open and/or "bounce" on their seats.

Valve Lash / Clearance: The clearance between the base circle of the camshaft and the valve bucket / rocker arm or tappet.

Valve Opening and Closing Angles: The angles (usually measured in crankshaft degrees) when the valves first leave and then return to their seats.

Valvetrain: The "train" of parts leading from the cam lobe to the valve.

Wow! Thanks for the info guys. Really helps narrow down what cam to decide on.

i am not knowledegeable enough to look at the ift and see where the cam makes power but my question is if a jig comp piston is added will it afftect where and when the power is made?
it looked like the 02 or maybe the 03 was the best and looked like the 06-07 hrc copied it

any other opinions?
