Can someone post the stock specs for an LBZ cam? Lift, duration, duration @ .050 (or whatever), and lobe center. Where is the cam timing set on the stock LBZ (Intake CL relative to TDC)? This is my 3rd DMax, but I'm still a newb to the land of positive pressure. My kneejerk instinct says...

good read!!
so mcrat,what is you thoughts on a stock lift/stock lsa/and a longer duration?
i still not sure on how much longer i would go. . .
You'd still have to verify piston clearance if you kept the LSA, but it should keep you from having to cut your pistons.
Cams are kind of a black art with diesels. Few back-to-back tests have been done. Turbo engines aren't as reliant on cam duration as NA engines, in fact too much cam hurts performance way before it does with NA.
I think a "bit" more duration would help high RPM operation, but how much a "bit" is, I don't know.
