shadowsniper3006 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) i guess its just me but i wouldn't touch that cam. Not only would it not meet my performance goals(maybe it meets yours) but if am reading that right its done on a pattern machine......which is so old in my trade it was before my time. It would seem as though this guy is buying one performance cam and then using a pattern grinder to "copy" the lobe design, which is pretty low. And it does not say he using new blanks for this cam, just that they are not welded. So i wonder where is he getting his blanks from, are they new or from another motor with a large enough lobe to grind a .588 lift on. If the blank is used, i wonder what motor it came from and if the lobes are hardened for roller lifters. Don't get me wrong used cams are fine but i would want to know that when the blank was made it was made to go into an ls motor. and i want the cam from the source of the info, not a guy reading the cliffnotes.

Krambo Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I agree with Shadow here. Cams are so inexpensive relatively speaking, its best to go to a big name. Little known fact is that Comp Cams often makes other "brands" such as SLP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD619SS Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Stay FAAR away from re-grinds ...they cut a stock cam on a smaller base circle, and then instruct you to use longer pushrods..not good for valvetrain geometry......buy a normal cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
