It's not reasonable to expect Richard to convert all the cam information from the various manufacturers into a standard format where they can all be easily compared apples to apples. That would be a massive project, and it would probably take him days. If he went through the trouble to do that it would not make economic sense to post the information here for anyone to use.

Richard has give us the information needed to at least head in the right direction about making cam choices. It's important to understand that cam specs are not standardized which makes comparisons difficult.

Personally, I see a lot of people (not just Alfa enthusiasts) choosing the wrong cams for their engines. This usually results in disappointing street performance.

Here is a quote from Vizard's book "How to Build Horsepower Vol. 1" "Harvey Crane once told me that the most common mistake enthusiasts make is wanting a bigger cam than the engine does." I agree completely.
