New Cam or Not?
So I have been having oil pressure problems at high rpm lately and metal in the oil filter so I am going to pull the motor.
I am not sure if the cam is good or not but this would be a great opportunity to switch.
I like the cam but the drivebility going slow just sucks, I do have stock gearing so maybe that is some of it.
The only problem getting a new cam is I will need to get it tuned again.
I was thinking of going with a custom spec'd cam by Pat G or Geoff. Is everyone happy with theirs spec'd by them? I see some forsale in the classifieds. I would rather not do head or injectors because this motor problem was not in the budget at all.

I think you would be much happier with a smaller more torque biased cam. Like you said...the slow drivability sucks. Torque = Fun (on the street). What about the StreetSweeper HT?? My EPS is real close to that but I haven't fired the motor yet. You can't go wrong getting Pat or Geoff's specs and I do believe EPS has an edge in their lobe design. There is a reason Pat has you fill out so much info when he specs your cam...he gets you what will work and what you want.
