Single Pattern vs. Split Pattern Cams
Season 7, Episode 17
: Same test, new twist. We've tested single V-split pattern cams before and concluded that a split pattern can increase top-end power without necessarily affecting bottom-end torque. Well, our findings have been challenged, and we're here for the science.
Plans start at $9.99/month.
