Dave worked for Crane cams back in the day when the OHV engine were turning Higher and higher revs and the valve spring pressure was going out of sight. He told me they developed a program that would Smooth out the profile to reduce the spring pressure without affecting the theoretical profile. Pete would probably be able to shead more light on it than I. When he bought a new cam grinder, he sent the master for his cams including the l-100 to the manufacture and they converted them to the new grinder which included the computer program to smooth out the profil to use lower spring pressure. I spent some time with Dave a few years back and was very impressed with hid knowledge. Not sure if I have everything right here, cause my brain is getting kinda fuzzy lately.
