Default What are camshaft specs??

Please, enlighten us, anyone and everyone that has a firm grasp on camshafts, what all the specs mean, from start to finish. What different grinds are good for in different c.i. motors, rpm ranges, strengths and weaknesses, etc etc. Please be thorough. Don't skimp on the tiny details, and feel free to include schematics, drawings, graphs, videos, pictures, experiences, and any info you feel is pertinent to help the lay-man understand this black art...


thank you in advance.
