IMO, they are not saying MORE cam, they are saying a DIFFERENT cam. Those generic cams open and close very slowly. This tends to keep cylinder pressure down in low compression engines. Couple that with the larger port volume in those BB heads, and it has the potential to be lazy down low. A cam with a steeper ramps might be a better choice. I like Engle cams better than Mark but there certainly are plenty of choices. Call Tim at Bullet for some very practical advice.
