Don't ya know??? I pulled all those numbers off the top of my head! =)
hehe...ya right!!!

        Well, I just looked through some Hot Rods that had a three part series on
Magnums. I also dug through a couple MP catalogs for some more info. Last
and not least, I just kinda extrapolated the cam info from things I
remember from old posts, and by looking at what the performance grinds for
the Magnum were. A book would be nice though. To have all that info
compiled into a book would be great. Maybe the Magnum Engines book has
this stuff in it?

btw...I would think the valvespring ratings would be in the 160 lbs closed
and 280-300 lbs. open area. I am probably wrong, being that that is a
guess, but performance springs usually are stronger than that, so it
sounded good to me...
