Re: Cam Selection Question

[Joey <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would recommend either Cam Motion or Bullet racing cams, both of these 
companies offer strong street oriented grinds along side their race stuff. I 
have nothing against Comp and the other mass producers except for the tech 
guy who answers the phone may not be the most knowledgeable, we have 
experienced that more than once. When you call Cam motion or Bullet which by 
the way took over Ultradyne you are guaranteed to speak with someone who 
really is knowledgable about cams for your application. In the case of 
Bullet, if Harold answers the phone you might as well pack a lunch because 
he will talk your ear off, but he has forgotten more than most cam designers 
will probably ever know,LOL!
