...And some confusing info on stock Zetec cams.

OK, so I got hardcore about doing some research and comparisons on who makes a good overall street/turbo cam. I found good info, but I also found some wierd discrepencies in two major cam manufacturers stock cam specs. OK, first the Turbo cams;
************Duration****D@.50Lift*****GrossLift
Crane Cams**232/228*****210/206********.374/.366
Crower******271/271*****220/220********.374/.374
Esslinger*****258/242*****not listed*****.405/.345

Note: the Crane cams has an additional listed spec of a 110deg lobe separation, and Esslingers cams seem to be geard more toward N/A performance(even though this is their mildest grind listed)

Now, on to the wierdness I found, both Crane and Crower list specs of a stock Zetec cam(I'm assuming from a Focus) but the specs from each manufacturer are completely different confused
Stock Specs;

***********Duration**D@.50Lift****Gross Lift
Crane Cams*229/229***206/205******.350/.342
Crower*****290/286***206/205******.343/.352

Let me close with an invitation for anyone to voice there opinions/technical expertise on which cam would work better with a low C/R high boost turbo application(with possibly a multi-point direct-port NOS wet-system eek ), and lend any insight as to why the stock cam specs seem to vary so widely.
...And I'm spent!!!

All I know is you don't want anything too aggressive. It will hurt your idle wink But then again you want to run high boost/nitrous. laugh A while back I spoke to madmole (192HP N/A 2L Mondy) and he has 273/272 which looks to be in the middle, not too aggressive and not too clost to stock. Let us know if you find anything else out.
