Just looking through the cam chart that was posted earlier.......
The Engle KV-1 looks like a killer street cam, why don't I hear more about it??? It has a crazy amount of lift(.546?) for the duration(271).
Wouldn't this make it a super torque stick? That's like roller cam specs. Is it really hard on the valvetrain? Is it even still around?,I know it's not on the website???
Just curious........

The only place I have found a reference to it's use is in the Mopar Muscle Magazine article "Buzzin' Half Dozen". So I put it in the spreadsheet.

The KV-1 profile is not recommended for the street. It's an aggressive profile and needs strong springs that will wear the lobes during extended idling or low RPMs. I think that's the cam the Rob Simmons has in the 'Gods Rod Duster'.
Engle does have a nice selection of street profiles that are better the the Chevy style lobes most others offer.
