Default best sponsor to buy a cam from?

im looking into a cam swap and was wondering where would be the best place to buy one.
im looking for the 224/228 581/588 114 LSA, specifically, nothing too extreme since this is my daily driver
any other suggestions are welcome as well.

Depends on the lobes you want.
For exemple TSP does Lunati (did) and Comp
Thunder= Comp
Futral =Cammotion
Vinci =Crane.

You need to select the companies that have cam specs you are interested in and discuss your build with each one. After doing so go with the one that you feel most comfortable with to obtain your goal. You will get good advice on this board but no money. The final decision is yours but more importantly it is YOUR money.

The post with call Geoff at TR and Trevor or Jason at TSP was the correct answer..they are knowedgeable and fast with your order..the customer service at either place is excellent..

Keep in mind that you will a good tune after the cam to get the most out of it and to eliminate any drivability issues..

I have bought one from each and the speed of delivery and the customer service was as good as it get..the second cam was not an off the shelf grind..it was one that I had done to specific specs and it took less that ten days to get it in my hands..
