−	An equation that calculates an engine's camshaft requirement with an accuracy ~~withing~~ +/- 1%. You may not believe it, but it is true and it doesn't require a college degree to understand.	+	Yes, there is and has been an equation that calculates an engine's camshaft requirement, with an accuracy of +/- 1%. You may not believe it, but it is true and it doesn't require a college degree to understand. It was written in 1977 by, the late, Dick Jones, former Technical Racing Manager for Champion Spark Plug Company, in charge of their West Coast Engine Dyno Facility. His formulas have been used by many of the industries premiere engine builders, aftermarket parts manufacturers and two or three cam companies. The math has been qualified as a true equation by two separate college professors, and verified by a Doctor of Fluid Mechanics/Dynamics.

		+	Most everyone in the camshaft business has known about the equation, or formulas, for at least 25 years. But, either would not believe it or accept it.
