I am confused? The cam in my 396/325 BBC has that "'square lobe" being only a .398 lift cam too. Isn't that due to the duration in the cam? So if you had too use Stock durations back then..how could they have square lobes? I was thinking they changed the LSA from stock for more overlap..

Lift stays the same it just gets to max lift quicker and stays there longer until it slams back down on the seat....
