Then I went to a cam that Tom Hutchinson called the "awful awful" (don't know the actual grind numbers/letters) - an Erson grind with .450 lift and a ton of duration - and added a blower. Now that was the cat's ass. LOL

Didn't really want to idle below about 1200 . . . but it was fun! LOL
If I recall correctly, I believe Ron used that cam as well after the 400Jr.
