Re: Cam & such

The problem with some of the "big" companies, is a little bit of "slight of hand"

There are only a small few companies who actually MAKE cam-blanks.
There are a FEW that buy their blanks and grind their own.
The MAJORITY have the same large company grind their cams to spec.
VERY FEW actually make their own blank, and grind it in-house to spec...its just too much setup cost.

So, what ends up happening is 10 companies sell different "versions" of the same basic grind #'s. Comp can grind 1 cam, more or less the same way, for 10 companies who sell it as something different.

I like Texas Speed and Pat G, both of which I believe are on Comp blanks. Tick's Polluter cam is also nice, but borderlines over-camming an otherwise stock motor. I'm using the TSP Tsunami, and I'm admittedly over-cammed for the setup. Once the my heads are on, that will change.
