Is TR the only sponser that has the cam doctor.

No, there's a shop Patrick G recommends (EPS) that will order the cam based on the specs you send and put it on the cam doctor too if you want. My custom cam was $425 through them plus a little more to get it doctored. I don't think they're a sponsor though.

Engine Power Systems is who Red99TA is reffering to and yes he is a sponsor. His name is Geoff on here i believe. Or just call 1-225-751-8500

OK, so you send in your custom cam specs for a new cam. How close to the specs can they grind a cam too? Can they not hit the specs? Do they not check the cam after it's done to make sure it's right? I find it hard to believe that any cam grinder does not have some kind of quality control and after you pay top dollor for a custom cam that you now have to have someone else check it?

then why do some people have their new cam put on a cam doctor?

I don't know what Comp does at the factory as far as QC but I paid the $25 or whatever it was to have my custom cam from them put on a cam doctor which measures the exact specs. FWIW I ordered a 231/235 .617"/.624" cam that the specs came out to be closer to 232/237 .615"/.619" which is pretty darn close. Of course it was supposed to be a 113+4 but installed dot to dot was about 2-3 deg off which is why it's best to degree your cam when you install it.

Yeah, I'm kinda with you here. You would be surprised on how much of the custom comp stuff, etc... is off.(Comp grinds 90% of the sponsors cams on here) Usually, if it's a new master/lobe, they will doctor it for you, otherwise you get what you get. That's why I really liked Crane. There QC and lobe to lobe accuracy was second to none, but they won't be grinding any automotive cams again, untill after feburary is what I've been told.

I just called up Geoff at EPS and had a nice talk with him a couple of times about what I have, and want from my car and then he suggested some cam spec's, which he had ground for me. It's a 222(.596)intake, 243(.601)exhaust, 115lsa+3. And I've got the CAM PRO PLUS Lift Report with it, but I really don't know what I'm looking at to verify the specs.

That is NOT good. You mean if you send specs for a custom cam and it comes back close then they say it's ok?

The big question is what happens if you have a cam doctor report and it shows it's not to the specs you asked for? Do they say too bad, it's close enough? This is un-real to pay for something and not get it.

how many people on this forum have done this and the cam not come back to specs?
