Hi Intensity Lifters to lose Duration
Hey gang, I was just browsing around, thinking to myself about random car parts when I started thinking about something.
Crane Hi Intensity Lifters.
Now, they claim to lose about 8 degrees of duration below 2500, which would mean better vacuum, driveability, etc.
But then I thought to automatic transmissions (Not sure why, I'm not an auto guy).
So I started thinking about finding a cam company's "biggest cam for stock converter", then finding a little more radical cam from the same company, and using the "Hi-Intensity" lifters to compensate.
I have no intention of doing so, but it seems to me this would work just fine, so long as you don't go more than 10-12 degrees larger than the "stock converter" cam.
I'm just spreading ideas, kind of want someone to try it to see if it would work. Any naysayers out there?
