I added to what else I select before the cam and what every custom cam manufacture will want to know before grinding a cam for a customer.
Obviously we are not going to agree here. I'll keep doing it my way no one is stopping you from doing it your way. Just trying to let the OP understand what cam grinders want to know before grinding a custom cam. I am not an off the shelf cam kind of guy.
For reference, here is a order form from Elgin Cams. Please feel free to see what info Dema asks for: http://www.elgincams.com/order.pdf
Here is a link to Bullet Racing cams order form: http://www.bulletcams.com/RecForm/index.html
Tick Performance cam work sheet: https://www.tickperformance.com/cont...mworksheet.pdf
Unfortunately I can't provide a direct link to Dougherty Racing Cams order form but it can be found by clicking here http://www.drcamshafts.com/ and then order form.
I could go on and on. But there must be some reason that every one of them wants to know a LOT more info than just target RPM range and heads, including ALL of the things I mentioned and more.
To add to that, you should see what most converter MFG's want to see as well. Most are ok with knowing peak TQ and vehicle weight along with power adder if any. |
Go back and read my posts, I think you missed something. I never said all you need is target RPM and cylinder head info.
What we are disagreeing on is you cant possibly pick a intake and headers and everything else without knowing the rpm range and the camshaft is a main player in determining the rpm range. In all the years I`ve been doing this I`ve never heard of anyone doing it this way. The cam companies need to know all the info so they can suggest or design a cam to fit the desired useage. If you have a existing combo and just changing cams then you`ll have all of the info but if your starting from scratch there is a good chance the customer wont have all of the info and I can guarantee you that those forms dont get filled out 100% complete 100% of the time.
We will definately have to agree to disagree. If your way works for you more power to you.
