vct affects timing by advancing or retarding the cam based on engine load. Even with that setup in place there's little reason why cam companies can't make a more aggressive grind. What they will need to do to make it work is get deeper into the EEC-V computer and figure out how to make it work in the computer when it changes the timing. EEC programming is not trivial and has to be figured out before you can bring the cam to market (responsibly anyway).

The cam you linked is what I'd call a hot street grind. It's not "aggressive" but it's not a "mild" grind. As for the lope... there's a lot that goes into that and I'm not gunna teach it to you right now. I'd recommend checking out www.howstuffworks.com and covering cams, variable cam timing and electronic engine control.

BTW... Stanger has as much risk of being murdered because of his job choice as anyone on the line. Some dumbass in Germany may decide that they don't like Americans in the fatherland and smoke him because he's in uniform. So if you're gunna bash like that...leave. Seriously guy, people in the military have a hard enough time right now with an unpopular war making them the scape goats for the angst of the whole world. You're not helping and I think you owe him an apology. I know Stanger00. We've met and he has my respect so I'd bet that he has the respect of most others here. He doesn't deserve disrespect because he decided to serve our country.

You can't just roll up in a place and expect to be treated like family. We've all been here a while. You haven't. Earn it.
