I just found out what the grind is on my series V camshaft.
     Open Close
Intake    26 deg    62 deg  @ .016" lash
Exh  62 deg    26 deg  @ .018" lash
Lift 0.264"
Duration 268
Overlap 52

I have set the lash to stock specifications (.012 and .014") not knowing
that it should be different.  I will reset the lash this weekend.  I
understand that too tight a valve lash will hurt the low end performance.
Any other changes I should expect?  Is it possible to advance the cam
timing a few degrees to improve performance?
