Health Care and Computer Science Not too long ago (e.g. 1989): Offline data / Missing data / hand written reports Computer that cannot talk to each other Lack of standardization (Tower of Babel, too many languages…) Human is frequently the "gold standard" Today: faster computers, cheaper computers, better computer networks, electronic scanners, better connectivity, the internet,... We have a lot of computerized knowledge on almost any aspects of human health(a well of knowledge) We have much more computing power to conduct complex data analysis tasks New Problems: How can we find anything? How do we gather information that is distributed over various computer systems and represented using different formats? If we find something, how do we know that it is complete? How can this large amount of information be analyzed? What information can we trust? Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Promising "Newer" Technologies to Cope with the Information Flood Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) Agent-based Technologies Shared Ontologies and Knowledge Brokering Non-traditional data analysis techniques Structural Search and Indexing Techniques Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Knowledge Discovery in Data [and Data Mining] (KDD) Let us find something interesting! Definition := "KDD is the non-trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns in data" (Fayyad) Frequently, the term data mining is used to refer to KDD. Many commercial and experimental tools and tool suites are available (see http://www.kdnuggets.com/siftware.html) Field is more dominated by industry than by research institutions Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. What is KDD? Definition := "KDD is the non-trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns in data" (Fayyad) The identified knowledge is used to – make predictions – classify new examples – summarize the content of data collections and documents to facilitate understanding, decision making, and for supporting search and indexing – support graphical visualization to aid human in discovering deeper patterns Example applications: – learn to classify brain tissue from examples – predict a patient's life expectancy from his medical history – summarize/cluster/mine clinical trial reports Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. General KDD Steps Data sources Selected/Preprocessed data Select/preprocess Transform Transformed data Extracted information Knowledge Data mine Interpret/Evaluate/Assimilate Data preparation Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. KDD and Classical Data Analysis KDD is less focused than data analysis in that it looks for interesting patterns in data; classical data analysis centers on analyzing particular relationships in data. The notion of interestingness is a key concept in KDD. Classical data analysis centers more on generating and testing pre-structured hypothesis with respect to a given sample set. KDD is more centered on analyzing large volumes of data (many fields, many tuples, many tables, …). In a nutshell the the KDD-process consists of preprocessing (generating a target data set), data mining (finding something interesting in the data set), and post processing (representing the found pattern in understandable form and evaluated their usefulness in a particular domain); classical data analysis is less concerned with the the preprocessing step. KDD involves the collaboration between multiple disciplines: namely, statistics, AI, visualization, and databases. KDD employs non-traditional data analysis techniques (neural networks, decision trees, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computing,…). Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Key Ideas Agent-based Technologies "Agents operate independently and anticipate user needs" (P. Maes) "Agent help users suffering from information overload" (O. Etzioni) rather to mimic human intelligence "Agents are important because the allow users to interoperate with modern applications such as electronic commerce and information retrieval. Most of these applications assume that components are added dynamically and that they will be autonomous (serve different users and providers to fill different goals) and heterogeneous." (M. Singh) "Essentially, agent-based architectures are characterized by three key features: autonomy, adaptation, and cooperation. Agent-based systems are computational systems in which several agents interact for their own good and for the good of the overall system. "In an agent-based architecture services are provided in the context of a community of loosely coupled agents of various types in a distributed environment." "Agents are aware of their environment and capable of communicating with other agents that belong to the same agent community". Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Simplified View of Agent-based Systems End User Agents Agents that act on behalf of end users that look for services Mediator Agents Service Provider Agents Agents that act as a matchmaker between service providers and end users Agents that act on behalf of service providers Conversation Layer Message Layer Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. A few more things on Agents Why do agent-based systems show promise for health care? – Scalability – Tasks to be solved involve the collaboration between different groups – Well suited for the world-wide web – Health care is a dynamically changing environment – Establish standards (as a by product) Third International Conference on AUTONOMOUS AGENTS (Agents '99), Seattle, Washington, May 1-5, 1999 (http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/agents99/) Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Generating Models The goal of model generation (sometimes also called predictive data mining) is the creation, evaluation, and use of models to make predictions and to understand the relationships between various variables that are described in a data collection. Typical example application include: – generate a model to that predicts a student's academic performance based on the applicants data such as the applicant's past grades, test scores, past degree,… – generate a model that predicts (based on economic data) which stocks to sell, hold, and buy. – generate a model to predict if a patient suffers from a particular disease based on a patient's medical and other data . Neural networks, decision trees, naïve Bayesian classifiers and networks, many other statistical techniques, fuzzy logic and neuro-fuzzy systems are the most popular model generation tools in the KDD area. All model generation tools and environments employ the basic train/evaluate/predict cycle. Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Participants in an Agent-based Data Analysis / KDD Society Data Analysts Data Collection Providers Tool Builders End Users (Managers, Doctors, Decision Makers, Gamblers,...) Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Problems of Model Generation It is difficult to find appropriate data collections. Sharing of models is not supported. Model generation is mostly performed in a centralized environment, not taking advantage of distributed computed computing technology. Degree of tool standardization is low, which makes more difficult to use different tools for the same data analysis problems. Evaluation of claims with respect to to the performance models is very difficult. Problem: the model itself, as well as tools and data collection that were used to generate the model are not accessible online. Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Agent-based Model Generation Model generation services are provided in the context of a community of loosely coupled agents of various types in a distributed environment. Model generation tools are accessed using a unified interface. Tool providers and data collection providers offer their services to data analysts and end-users via the internet. New forms of collaboration can easily be supported in this environment: – data analysts no longer run the tools on their own computing environment – brokering techniques can be used to find interesting data collections, suitable tools, useful models, and available ontologies. – tool developers offer tool services on the internet charging onetime tool use fee.

Shared Ontologies "Ontologies are content theories about sorts of objects, properties of objects, and relationship between objects that are possible in a specified domain of knowledge" (Chandrasekaran) "We consider ontologies to be domain theories that specify a domain-specific vocabulary of entities, classes, properties, predicates, and functions, and a set of relationships that necessarily hold among those vocabulary items" (Fikes) "Shared ontologies form the basis for domain specific knowledge representation languages" (Chandrasekaran) "If we could develop ontologies that could be used as the basis of multiple systems, they would share a common terminology that would facilitate sharing and reuse" (W. Swartout) "Ontologies play an important role for the standardization of terminology in medicine (e.g. UMLS) and other domains" "Ontologies can serve as the glue between knowledge that is represented at different, usually heterogeneous information sources." Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. What are Ontologies good for? As a shared conceptual model of a particular application domain that describes the semantics of the objects that are part of the domain, and captures knowledge that is inherent to the particular domain --- idea: knowledge base . Ontologies provide a vocabulary for representing knowledge about a domain and for describing specific situations in a domain (tool for defining and describing domain-specific vocabularies) --- idea: language for communication For data/knowledge translation and transformation (provide a solution to the translation problem between different terminologies); for fusion and refinement of existing knowledge --- idea: interoperation For matchmaking between users, agents, and information resources in agent-based systems --- idea: collaboration, brokering focus of next slides As reusable building blocks to build systems that solve particular problems in the application domain --- idea: model reuse Summary: "Ontologies can be used as building block components of knowledge bases, object schema for object-oriented systems, conceptual schema for data bases, structured glossaries for human collaborations, vocabularies for communication between agents, class definitions for conventional software system, etc." (Fikes) Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99. Ontologies and Brokering Service providers describe their capabilities in terms of a domain (or task) ontology Agents that seek services describe their needs in terms of a domain (or task) ontology Broker agents server as matchmakers between service providers and service seekers by finding suitable agents and by evaluating the extent to which they can provide those services relying on a semantic brokering approach. Various languages have been advocated in the recent years to specify ontologies: OKBC, CKML/OML, ONTOLINGUA, XML, UMLS,... Data Mining for the Health Sciences, Seattle, 4/27/99.

Critical Problems with Respect to Shared Ontologies Scientific communities have to agree on ontologies; otherwise, the whole approach is flawed. Development of ontologies for a particular domain is a difficult task (see Digital Anatomist project at UW, development of UMLS). The development of user friendly, and intelligent knowledge acquisition tools is very important for the successful development of shared ontologies. Expressiveness of languages that are used to define ontologies limits what can be done with domain ontologies. Reasoning capabilities are important for systems that use shared ontologies (we need a language to specify ontologies and an inference engine that can reason with the given ontologies) – finding inconsistencies in knowledge bases, for finding errors at data entry – semantic brokering – more intelligent mappings between terms – ...

The studio are said to be considering casting a rising star such as 'The Maze Runner' actor Dylan O'Brien or Logan Lerman, who recently starred alongside Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf in 'Fury'.
However, actors have yet to be approached as Sony are also looking to hire a new director to replace Marc Webb. BANG!

Nobody's Home
The day dragged on into another realm of exhaustion as the hikers made their way along yet another nondescript mountain passage. The world had come to a stand still, and for every step they took, the scenery changed ever so slightly while they remained rigid in place.
And where was this place? It was the middle of nowhere. It was the great wilderness. It was the wide expanse of uncharted territory. It was the raw reality of life on earth where humans did not exist. It should have been beautiful. It should have been breath-taking. But those who walked this route were humans themselves, one's who were beginning to feel just as extinct as the surrounding land suggested.
Starvation had worked its way into their muscles, weariness into their bones, and stagnant depression into their minds. Their plane had crashed three nights ago, and still they hiked. Through desperation and through pain, they toiled always onward. They were searching for humanity, and on a planet that held over six billion people, it was pure frustration that faced them at every turn. They were utterly alone--a small tribe of men and women on a faceless planet of rock and plantlife.
The people had come to blows, screaming at one another under the influence of that mortal fear that crept the alleyways of their subconcious like a virus. Were they going to die? Was this the end? What would happen if they could not find any more food? When would the hunger end and death begin?
"I said we should have gone north!" screamed Jake.
Linus cackled and said, "Why don't you understand? We don't know which way north even is!"
"I told you it was that way!" retorted Jake. "Why won't you believe me?"
And then, the softest of them all spoke. It was Jillian. "I think I see a light..."
Though her voice was only a whisper, an uneasy and unsure whisper at that, the screams died instantly. Jake spun his eyes to the ridge ahead, and Linus gave Jillian a demanding glare.
"Where?" barked Jake. "I don't see anything."
And then Mel spotted it. She was too tired to say anything, but she pointed at the light with wide, hopeful eyes.
The light was shining down from the ridgetop, feeble and weak, but it was at least a sign of humanity.
"The sun is reflecting from a window!" cried Jake, the joy in his voice nasty and arrogant, as if it had been his own discovery.
Jillian smiled with giddy excitement. Could there really be a building up there? Were they not still in the middle of nowehere?
They would soon find out.
The tribe worked their way up this final slope with a burning energy that compressed the last of their strength into a final heave for hope. After entering the tree line, Travis came to a dead stop. "There's a fence!" he cried, his voice cracking.
Jake was soon in the lead, climbing the fence like the commander in charge. "This way!" he cried.
Jillian was still smiling like a little mountain blossom as she watched the antics and excitement of the others. Who would have thought? Meek little Jillian was the one to save them all.
Soon however, as they marched through the forest beyond the fence, this simple hope began to transform into a realization of wonder. They emerged as if straight out of a game of make-believe, right out onto the crisp green lawns of a landscaped yard.
The group gathered on the sloped lawn before the japanese gardens and the duck pond, gazing in amazement at the pruned hedges and the graceful path that curved gently through the garden and orchard beyond. And then, in a dream-like silence, they made their way along the path.
The path soon reached the crest of the hill where the weeping willows stood, and here there sat a single bench that overlooked the wilderness. Jake climbed onto the bench and stood, gazing over the harsh landscape they had previously endured.
"Look the other way," Jillian whispered. "Away from the past and to the future."
Jake made no response and then turned as if of his own volition. His eyes widened, and then he whooped with glee and jumped from the bench to the soft ground.
"There's a house straight ahead!" he cried. With these words, the group found that they had the energy to run. And so they did.
Soon, the beautiful shining windows and the rich textures of the man-made walls and roof came into full view. And as this view stretched before them, they realized that they had found far more than they had ever suspected.
"It's a mansion!" cried Mel. "There's even a swimming pool!" Mel could not contain her glee, and she bounded forward with hightened laughter and gleaming eyes.
The group immediately split up to investigate the yard around this mansion, and they were soon troubled to find that the entire circumference was edged by the expanses of wilderness that they had come to dread.
"I don't understand," complained Travis. "Why is this mansion in the middle of nowhere?"
"Oh, but it's not!" Mel exclaimed. "It's somewhere!"
Jillian had remained silent through all this, and as the others had ran about like children, she had calmly walked around the house to peer through all the windows. And she had come to a frightening conclusion.
There was nobody home.

somebody, someone, everybody, everyone, no one等不定代词均为单数。根据语法规则,后面应用其他单数代词(he, she, his, her)。但现在很多人认为这种用法有性别偏见之嫌,因而较为可取的是they, them或their。

此处even though表示"即使,虽然",引导让步状语从句。该短语经常可与even if换用。

The Gamepad
Gamepad The trademark feature of the Wii U is the all new gamepad. The gamepad sports a six inch touch screen which allows players to use the Wii U like a large Nintendo DS. This allows for deeper immersion in games through the use of the touchscreen and also helps unclutter the screen by placing hub objects on the gamepad for reference. At first glance it may seem like the gamepad would be uncomfortable to hold, especially during long gameplay sessions. I'm happy to say that even I, with relatively small hands, enjoyed holding the gamepad. It was comfortable to hold and wasn't by any means too large or too long.
Another great feature of the gamepad is off-screen play. Many games allow players to turn off the tv and play on the gamepad instead. Unfortunately, in my case, I cannot play the gamepad while on the loo, but I can play the gamepad in a nearby room. Although the range of the gamepad isn't as long as I would have hoped, it is definitely convenient and allows for play in a different room. Ideally, if your bathroom is next door to your Wii U, then you're set for eternity… unless you have to come out to eat.
The one downside about the gamepad is the battery life. I never got out more than two to three hours out of the gamepad before it shut off. This can become quite annoying, especially for those gamers that are ready for long gameplay sessions. Fortunately, the charging cord for the gamepad is pretty long, so players can always play Wii U with the gamepad plugged in. Even better is the fact that players can take the battery out of the gamepad, so third-parties may begin to release better battery packs for the gamepad in the future.
Come back tomorrow for an overview of the interface and online structure.
Note: The score will be posted in the fourth, and final, part.


text: Just had my oil changed around 200 miles ago. I was checking it today and found an extreme gas smell. I assume best way to find the fuel content is to do a black stone oil test. Is it pointless to do one as early as this? Should I wait till I put 3k or so on this oil? Almost all of my drives are 70 miles in a 2 way trip.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Here's a quick look at what went down in Notre Dame's 28-6 season-opening win over Temple:
It was over when: George Atkinson III's two-yard touchdown rush with 5:37 left in the third quarter gave Notre Dame a 28-6 edge and some needed breathing room against a Temple team that hung around longer than most expected.
Game ball goes to: There is plenty of credit to go around on offense, but at the end of the day you have to go with Tommy Rees. The senior signal caller completed 16 of 24 passes for 346 yards with three touchdowns. Most importantly, he did not turn the ball over.
Stat of the game: Four total missed field goals will stand out. So, too, will Temple's Jim Cooper having his extra-point attempt blocked by Jarron Jones. Irish coach Brian Kelly had said that Saturday would be somewhat of an audition for kickers Nick Tausch and Kyle Brindza. Each missed a field goal try, leaving the Irish with a minor issue heading into Michigan next weekend.

Ultimate Dry Sacks
These are not dry sacks in the traditional sense, but they are an economical alternative when less protection will do. Not intended for submersion and labeled as merely weatherproof they make no claim to being dry sacks other than their name. Great for organizing and protecting gear inside a pack. This three pack of Chinese made roll top sacks caught my eye at a local shop due to the price. I wasn't looking for bags at the time, but grabbed them simply because they cost so little and I was sure… Full review
Apex Trekking Pole Set
These are good-looking, sturdy trekking poles. They are well made and the locking levers make a satisfying click to let you know they are secure. These are a good buy for the money. I recently took these out on the Shaupeneak Ridge in New York to hike the white blazes and they held up and really gave me great support on both the up and downs. We hiked on dry, powdery dirt, rocky uphills, branchy, grassy flats and damp rocks near a waterfall. The locking levers are easy to adjust and there was… Full review
Coffee Press
Simply great! This is the simplest, most compact, best quality coffee maker I've seen. I use it several times a day and love it. The only thing i don't like is the lid's drinking spout. I drink really hot coffee, but drinking hot coffee from the lid burns my upper lip. I don't need the lid often, so not much of a problem for me! Full review
Fieldline Alpha OPS Daypack
Good, basic bag. Comfortable to carry, roomy interior. Good for EDC, day hikes, or Get Home Bag in car or office. Good for a beginner who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a starter bag. I picked up this bag last year from Amazon. I was looking for a black tactical-looking daypack to replace one I had worn out. This Fieldline Alpha Ops Daypack was a decent replacement for the price. It's not my every day bag but it's getting decent use. As soon as I got it last year, I loaded it up and took… Full review
Trekking Pole Set
I bought this set to see if I prefer them over my staff. I liked the price. The shock absorbers are a plus. This is a good beginner set. I have never used trekking poles before. I bought this set at WalMart to see if I would like them. They seemed to work OK. I tried this set out at a prvate college trail system. The handles are hard plastic and after two miles rubbed a hot spot on my hands. They worked good at stream crossing and poorly on slick rock. A good friend is on his third set of this brand.

I want to appeal against Camden council after it towed away our car and charged £640 for its release, and am trying to find out if I have a case. Unknown to me the resident parking permit had expired. I did not know this because I received no notification from the council, and more importantly, the permit itself is a card that only Camden parking officers' machines can read. The expiry date is not displayed on it.
I do not use the car more than a couple of times a month, so did not know it had been removed until I got back from holiday, went to use the car, and realised it was not there. I've since discovered – having watched another car being towed away in similar circumstances – that the car was removed an hour and a half after the ticket was placed on the windscreen. This begs the question of what time the council gives its residents to reapply for a permit that they don't know has expired. It seems we are being penalised for serious flaws in the parking permit scheme. What do you think? DE, Camden, N London
Having looked at your case in detail, we think you have a reasonable claim. If the permit clearly showed the expiry date – as a car tax disc does – you wouldn't have much of an argument, but they don't. Equally, if the council had sent you a reminder, or even put a ticket on the car a few day before it was towed, then that would be fair enough, but it didn't do that either.
We asked the council about your case, but it was not in a forgiving mood. A spokesperson said: "It is the responsibility of motorists to renew their parking permits. Reminder stickers, which include the permit expiry date, are sent with the permits. These can be attached to the permit holder in the vehicle, or the owner can make a note on the permits themselves. Residents can also access their permit records online to check information such as renewals dates and to renew their permits. We send either a postal or email reminder, depending on which preference is stated by the resident when they originally applied."
She declined to say whether a letter had been sent to you. She did say the council gives a seven-day grace period before it will do anything to the vehicle. However, it appears it did not give you this notice. This should therefore form the basis of your appeal – which you have now filed.
If your appeal fails, your best bet would probably be to go to the small claims court and ask for your money back on the basis that council has failed in its duty of care to you. In the meantime, perhaps it's time that Camden redesigned its parking permits. It seems unlikely that you are the only resident who has fallen foul of this policy.
We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or write to Brignall & King, Money, the Guardian, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU. Please include a daytime phone number

Behind A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh is the amazing true story of a real bear. Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear, rescued by Captain Harry Colebourn on route to World War I, and later was befriended by the real-life Christopher Robin. Told by Colebourn's great-granddaughter, illustrated by Sophie Blackall, and complete with primary documents from the family archive, here is a piece of our literary heritage brought to life.
A New York Times Notable Children's Book of the Year
* "The sum total is as captivating as it is informative, transforming a personal family story into something universally resonant."
—Horn Book, starred review
Lindsay Mattick, great-granddaughter of Harry Colebourn, has shared Winnie's story around the world. She lives with her family in Toronto, Canada. Sophie Blackall's work has appeared in the bestselling Ivy and Bean series, award-winning picture books, a global pro-vaccination campaign, and on a renowned NYC subway poster. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.

text: I always wonder if in the bio the writer's aren't just creating a new character to go along with a Nom de Plume. Who knows, and our true identities would be boring. It's the fantasy of who we are, and perhaps, who we might become, and the potential that some of us might actually meet and make unrepeatable history. Brick houses and icy streets, those playgrounds sound truer. Foot to path, hand to mouth, Detroit for one dollar.

SBC 383 stroker opinions & cam Questions???
Question?????....I'm getting built a SBC 383 stroker I trying to get between 550HP to 600HP or better to the flywheel, I want to kno if used a custom camshaft. For example a 565/585 lift @.050 duration 244/252 and wanted my RPM range between 2500-6800 or 3000-7000 RPM is it possible to get it with a cam like this with my SET UP below... I am just respectfully asking for some input if you would? Thks Des
I'm new to this, I have been always into muscle car & performance engines. Im getting built a 383 Stroker going with TRW forged pistons .30 over, Forged Scat I Beam rods , 4130 Eagle Crank,World Products Motown Intake Manifolds Part#061040 rpm range 2500-7500 , Airflow Research (AFR) 1103 - AFR 210cc SBC Eliminator Competition Heads. I swapped the solid roller 710lift springs for the 650lift hyd roller springs cause of a hyd roller cam I want to go with...
[B]Compression between 10:5:1 to 10:8:1[/B
The HYD Roller cam I have with this set up now is a Lunati Voodoo cam.... How much Hp could I have with just keeping this cam
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 282/290
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 231/239
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .535/.550
RPM Range 2500-6500
108 Lobe sep
very good heads,the cam might be a little small to make the power you want or it will be on the lower side of your scale,,,
what size headers are you going to use and are you using an 850 holley?
The headers I want to go with are Schoenfeld Headers
PART#187 ARE $319.95 1 7/8 Primary & PART# 186V ARE $259.95 goes from 1 3/4 to 1 7/8in Primary and seem to be a very very good deal. VS any other G-body specific long tube like Super Comp or Hedman Husler Hedders that's list for like 500+ dollars
The power figures you are asking for are very close to what my engine makes,this is the basic list of parts Im using,just for comparison,nothing else. I hope it helps:
10;75:1 434 cube,dart block/heads
heads are 227 cc and came cnc ported,then they were cleaned up a little,my camshaft is solid roller 256/264 duration with 108 degrees icl and 108 degrees of lobe separation,installed straight up
.420 lift X 1.5 and 1.6 shaft mounted rockers. victor junior intake with a modified 950 HP. headers are jere. 1 7/8 step headers. my engine makes peak power at 6470 rpm ( on the dyno) revs to 7k with out much power drop but torque goes down
nothing wrong with a 750 for your car or a hydraulic cam.You are asking for 1.5 horse power per cubic inch.I dont see that much. the smaller cam and carb will make it more fun to drive and I guarantee you wont have any gas mileage concerns when you drive it.I go for a drive for a couple hours,including a coffer stop and a couple spirited accelerations and I spend 40 to 50 bucks on fuel.
If you want a daily driver that goes great and is a little better on fuel,copy an LS-3 build as close as you can afford or use a carb and be happy with close to 500 hp?
The HYD Roller cam I have with this set up now is a Lunati Voodoo cam....
How much Hp could I have with just keeping this cam???????????
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 282/290
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 231/239
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .535/.550
RPM Range 2500-6500
108 Lobe sep
565/585lift Duration @.050 244/252
rpm range 2500-6800 or 3000-7000
Could I get close to the HP i'm looking for with a custom HYD ROLLER cam like this????
split duration camshafts "usually" have more duration on the exhaust side.afr have a very good exhaust side for breathing sometimes as high as 80% of the intake side.Cam grinders quite often include 6 or more degrees duration on the exhaust side to make up for standard OEM heads and other heads that have less flow on the exhaust than what is desired.
Instead of looking to squeeze more power out of a 383 why not squeeze more cubic inches into your caR
What are you using for a block and whats been done for machine work??
I understand a solid roller cam will get me more hp and torque, But HYD Roller is that way i'm going. I alread paid for everything I can't really turn back now. Maybe I just need a bigger cam with good duration,What do u think??????
I appreciate the info, but I already paid for everything to be done to my 383 stroker so I can't turn back now and go with a bigger cubic inch engine, And yes AFR are really good heads and your saying a durtaion of 244/252 is to much of a split, now correct me if i'm wrong but I thought more duration is better especially for some good heads like AFR to get more HP & TQ.
That's what some big performance guys that I talked to told me. They say its not always about the lift its more about the duration that get the HP & TQ.... (In Joe Sherman words)
Lets do some math,first scroll up and look at my parts list.In your opinion are your parts the same as mine?
lets say my engine makes 1.5 hp per cube,I have 50 more cubes so 75 more horse power
and lets give my engine an extra 20 hp for using a solid roller.
you need to take away close to 100 hp from my engine to get what your engine will produce.
It was not me that said your split duration cam is a problem.

Finally a New Chapter (or A Failed Attempt Realized)Mature
A few days passed quietly. Lou was laying on the sofa bed a book in hand, his eyes staring blankly at the pages. He looked up only when he heard Gabriel move.
"Morning" Lou smiled as Gabriel stood up. "How are you?"
"Sore." Gabriel muttered wincing as he stretched. Lou sighed as Gabriel pulled a cigarette from the pack with his teeth. "You?" The vampyre looked up at the tired daemon, Lou nodded.
"About the same" Lou stood putting his book down.
"It's not working." Gabriel said bitterly "is it?"
"I don't know." Lou said not wanting to confirm the vampyres disappointment. He saw Gabriel pull the curtain across the bed and sat back down again.
Gabriel pulled on black jeans the cigarette hanging from his mouth and then he tugged a loose gray shirt over his sore back and moved back into Lou's line of sight.
"Can I see?" the daemon asked as Gabriel straightened the Velcro beneath his wings.
"Not now, Lou" Gabriel said his thin body felt heavy and sluggish as the thought of another failed idea sank in.
"After breakfast?" Lou asked gently as Gabriel prodded Dawn awake.
"Perhaps" Gabriel muttered as Lou began to strip off his night clothes.
At breakfast, Lou, Gabriel and Dawn were quiet. Dorian looked worriedly at his guests.
"Is everything okay?" he asked his voice unheard by the rest of the noisy table.
"Later" Lou replied the witch nodded.
"Just so you're aware Wick has her powers back." Dorian sat back crossing his long legs.
"Has it been a week already?" Lou asked his hand tightening around his mug of steaming coffee.
"I'm afraid so." Dorian said trying not to show his concern as he saw Gabriel staring down at his clawed hands. Lou sighed and settled back on the large couch staring up at the painted ceiling, his dark eyes picked out three cherubs before he heard a crunch and something hot spread over his hands. "Lou?" Dorian cried. The daemon looked down to see shards of china on his thigh and in his now bloody hand.
"Dorian, I'm so sorry" he said dully. Dorian gently pried the shards of Lou's coffee mug from the daemons hand.
"Don't be." Dorian rested a hand on Lou's uninjured wrist. He waved his hand over the daemons lap and the material of his jeans dried instantly.
That afternoon Gabriel was sitting on the bed his head resting on the headboard. Dawn looked up from his drawings as Lou came in.
"How is everyone?" Dawn asked Lou nodded.
"Fine, as far as I can tell." He said taking off his jacket. "Sylver seems a little distant but they've settledin nicely." Gabriel suddenly stood and grabbed his coat from the rack by the door.
"Where are you going?" Dawn called.
"Out" Gabriel snapped closing the door behind him. Dawn moved to stand up.
"Leave him." Lou said calmly "he's upset"
"It hasn't worked has it?" Dawn sighed sitting heavily again. "How's your hand?"
"fine." Lou said fiddling with the bandage Dorian had wrapped around it, "the tonic made me feel like I was on fire, the scar it was used on is open again. I'd hate to think what it's done to him."
"I wish he'd realize that they're not that bad." Dawn said
"Dawn!!" Lou's voice was shocked but tired. "They're horrendous."
"I didn't mean it that way," Dawn lit a cigarette, "they are awful but they're not out of place."
"Because you're used to them and love is blind," Lou smiled "don't forget that they hurt."
"I know," Dawn said "I just wish I could help."
