Anyone run A.I 243's with a A.I cam? I'm looking to have A.I work my 243's over and spec me a cam. Anyone run there stuff and how do you like it? I hear great things about there head work. But haven't seen anything on there cams. My car is a weekend toy.

As stated above Damian likes to use Cam Motion for some builds. I'm running one based off his suggestion and my car should be running some pretty impressive numbers for full weight cam only car....(think of not far off the top 20 fastest lists).

If you put together a top-end piece meal then there are several variables you will have to be concerned with from p2v to pushrod length. It is a headache that we deal with daily when a guy has bought the current "cam of the month" and wants us to provide a head that will simply bolt on and not require reliefs. Of course we can always just lose out on a few hp gained via compression by retaining stock volume and valve location.
Insofar as cam selection itself goes, "matching" them to heads is an internet marketing idea more than a real life racing process in our experience. What are you going to "match" exactly? Certainly not "flow" since the flowbench is nothing like an engine. The head/manifold etc. is where the power potential lies, and the cam/valve train are where the reliability/longevity/etc. lie assuming the cam is even close to being 'in the ballpark.' We simply look to make the appropriate compromise between the critical factors for any given application.
The benefit of buying one of our cams is that you will receive an entire top-end that will simply bolt together with adequate p2v assuming it is properly assembled. You can make power with most any cam - any guy can go pick a relatively aggressive lobed cam, and a setup will make decent power for whatever it is. What we can offer is the same or better power with less aggressive lobes than are typically run to enhance RPM headroom (huge for stick cars), better component life, and the assurance that you don't run a mystery cam like most who have nothing but a claimed spec sheet.
If you care for the long version, there is more info here: http://www.advancedinduction.com/LSX...BilletCams.php

well i always thought that if a head has a peak flow at certain lift, a camshaft would need to be designed in order to maximize such high flow point...
then my question would be what are the correct steps in choosing a proper set of heads and camshaft
since there is no necessity to match them up...
what consists in this case a strong set up???

The one good pass I made in my car before deploying was 11.79 with 2.01 60 ft at almost 125mph. Stock 10 bolt 3.42s.
I have since purchased a MWC 9 with 4.30s and all their suspension/chassis stuff and will be returning to the track when I get home and get it all in.
AI FTW, I am very happy with Phil and Ron and I will be a returning customer!!
