I think I had an Andrews "B" in my last Shovel. Not bad.

VThunder cams SHV 4001 and haunt ebay for a set of the new hyd. lifters for shovels . These are are made like evo lifters much better than the old ones see them regular for $100 a set . Andrews cams are ok but they don't make power till 2500 rpm and up so you don't get into the power band without a lot of shifting and high rpm's . The VThunder cams are for hyd. lifters and come on around 1200 to 1500 rpm , you feel it right off the line don't have to rev as much . The VThunder 4011 and 4021 are real good cams for heavier shovels but need high lift valve springs or collars installed .
