Cam Follower Maths

You can't change the actual opening times with different radius followers but you can alter the rate of opening, and therefore the volume of charge that can flow at low angular movements, albeit at the cost of higher valve train acceleration and therefore loading. Assymetic followers do exist and are really a way of compensating for the limitations of regrinding a cam onto a pre-existing profile.
