Going through the receipts from the PO I have the invoice for the Winterfeldt 455. It has a specs sheet with added notation from the late Mr Winterfeldt listing the camshaft as a "custom 111 degree cam."
Now, having played with high performance cars for some 40 years I know a bit about camshafts but I'm not sure what he is referencing with that spec. A 111 lobe seperation angle would have a choppy idle - this doesnt. A 111 degree intake lobe centerline? Maybe, this would be a bit advanced compared to stock I think. Or maybe the 111 he refers to is actually 222 degrees of crank rotation, making it a mild performance cam.
Does anyone have any information on this? I tried Comp cams, they didnt know although they were supposedly the manfactuer. THey did say if I had the numbers off the can nose they could tell me but I hope not to be pulling it down that far.
The engine runs well but I'm curious. Also at some point I will pull the valve covers and check the actual valve lift with a dial indicator to make sure the flat tappet cam is not wiping out, so having the specs would be nice.
