The duration might seem small (even up to the 212/218) but I think the key thing is the added valve lift, it just allows a lot more air into the cylinders.

Here's a thread that shows the cam that I'm using and my philosophy on "towing performance" https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=390058. If you truly want a gas powered truck that can work and be durable, you're going to have to give up on performance centered on HP.
