I can see a future Daze  You Tube episode...."how to Re-machine your Cam for improved Performance"!

BTW.........I originally ran the X-303 roller in my engine and it was a smooth idling (112* LSA) power house.
No special work was needed on my Windor jr. valve train.
You might want to give it a look.
Sorry....I sold it when I got my present cam.

Was that oak, or pine?

Daze, I never noticed you were in Montana until tonight.  I rode my Sportster up 93 early one Sunday morning years ago to the Canadian border.  There was a sign on that little gate that said "CLOSED".  I snapped a photo showing Canada was closed.  That border crossing was the smallest one I have ever seen.  Just a gate there along with a couple of small buildings on a little 2 lane road in the forest.  Back in those days I lived in Redmond, WA.

Oops, I think I'm mistaken.  That crossing on 93 looks too big on the map.  I think I was east of you on that tiny road "N Fork Rd" in Polebridge, MT.  The crossing in my photo was on a small forested road with a really tiny border crossing.

Makes senses. The oaks wouldn’t last long with all that snow load snapping off all the limbs. “Natural Selection”

I think it has more to do with altitude and temperature than snow load we have maples, ash, willows and other deciduous trees (pine is stll probably 75% or more). Once the deciduous trees lose their leaves the snow doesn't pile up on them.  I have only ever seen one oak tree in my area.  It is a few blocks down the street and it doesn't hardly grow.  Been the same size for a long long time.  There is something in my area that oak trees do not like.

I guess the real question is (surprised Sal missed this opportunity) Did that stove perform better once you “stuck a cam in it” ?

No performance increase it was a "factory cam"

The post title pulled me in. I had to read it. I must say that’s getting creative.
