did i miss how to get the IVC value from advertised cam specs?
If so I miss it two
flask you really need to get excel or another spreadsheet program if only for the stroker calc alone. very useful tool. luckily for me, most of the software for linux is free and is pretty well made. i havent used windows at home in over 2 years and i have never looked back.
lets say we have two cam's that have the exact same IVC spec ( @.050) but one, is designed let the valve down softly on to it seat, and the other one slam it on the seat, as fast as it can.
Seat to Seat of these two cams, could be 10 maybe even 20* different ...........so you see, it is a Guesstament at best what the seat spec is with a "@ .050 spec.
For the average cam it's probably close,......but it could be way off depending on what lobe ramp was designed into the cam.
