The General Kinetics cam in my '56 Chevy in the early/mid '70s. The lobes were almost square. Killed valve springs in three or four races. It was the 2X4 bl 225 hp Corvette engine, solid lifter deal, valves set at .003"/.003" (stock was .012" - .018"?) hot. Was faster than anything else I tried. Looked flaky but always past Red Anderson's tear downs. Red would check it, look at me and shake his head, but he always passed it.
