But it is also a fact that this is definitely not the way to keep costs down :-)
I didn't say that a single cam was not possible. My only point is that it seems to me that it would be much easier and less costly to use 2 cams... Or even solinoid rather than trying to grind a single cam with the variables that are needed to really accomplish the power improvements desired. I'm a firm believer that not very many things are impossible but there are a huge number of things that are cost prohibitive or impractical.
