Jim,

If I'm reading my cam spec sheet correctly, I'm running 254 degrees of 
duration. Valve lash is currently .016" for exhaust and .015" for 
intake. When I first installed the cam, it was recommended that I run 
.022" exhaust and .020" for intake but the valve stem ends began to 
show severe wear.
Hope this helps.

Allen
