Some people do use cams with the "rv" grind. I have found that to be a moniker some companies use to describe their mild cams which still provide good vaccum. I think you might tell everyone a little more about the application and expected use, what kind of vehicle, etc. This might help some.

Does that mean you are going to re-build it with a different cam next year or will be using the same cam?
