Default Cam Timer....discussion within

I came across this link of a pretty groovy new contraption called the Camtimer.

Here is a demo video, http://www.pibtv.com/movies/CAMTIMER.wmv


Your opinions???

Pretty cool, it can give you an entire cam card and the whole 9, neat. Too bad it costs $9,200

Went to the PRI show in Orlando last year and saw this "Camtimer" at the Cloyes booth. They were using it to demonstrate their Hexadjust product. I was more interested in the Camtimer system than the Hexadjust product. They referred me to Machinery Row where the Camtimer booth was. The booth was busy so I just watched from the rear of the crowd.

They had it set up on 2 engines, a small block Chevy and a OHC Ford. It was sweet on how fast and easy the system was to use and the data and graphs it produced. (I like data)

I have been in talks with one of the engineers for Camtimer. We may get our hands on one to check out and see how it works first hand. Certainly is a steep price tag though.

Has the guy you are talking to mentioned who is using the system or did he give you any success stories?

That's tight....but not tight enough to justify $9200. The degree wheel still works fine for me!

Well in further talks the 2007 price is down to $8400, still oput of reach for most but a little more reasonable.

In talks with my contact he has told me of a customer that has used it over 3000 times and never missed a beat.

Let us know if you get to see Camtimer in action. Very curious to hear your impressions of it. I was impressed when I saw it at the PRI show.
