I can"t imagine a car with 308 deg. cam is drivable on raod use... What I _think_ was happening, is that the factory was quoting figures for thier so-called "Corsa" spec engine that never made it inot the Miura (though the SV was probably close). The "stock" 288/276 is warm enough and it is rather interesting that the engines have the sort of flexibility that they do. What was the early low compression cam timing for the engines in the 400s - anyone know? Bill
