How's this?

K-grind cam from TT;

(btw, be careful looking up 'K-grind cam' via Google. If it's not 
skateboarding then it's some kind of adult type thing I'm sure was in 
the Kama Sutra Addendum.)

Check out the blurb:

Now, I'm wondering what 4kMax RPM means, I think it means the gains in 
power start diminishing after 4000 rpm, not that it'll hit some kind 
of wall or rev limiter or fly to pieces if you exceed those revs.

Who can expand on the K-Grind cam? I'm thinking it makes for a great 
JH mod in a daily driver.
