Default Wheres Bob at EPP?

Im looking at his LS forced induction cam and I had some quetions for him. Ive been trying to get ahold of him for a couple months now through phone calls, emails, messages and PMs but havent gotten anything returned. Has anyone been able to get ahold of him. Or Bob if you see this can you PM me so I could get some answers about the cam? I would appreciate this. I also didnt know where to post, hopefully this works. Thanks

I tried getting ahold of him for several days a couple weeks ago, and finally gave up and ordered my parts elsewhere. He has a for sale thread going on in the Sponsors Specials forum that I know he was checking, so you might try there. He told me he would call me back there, and I've still yet to hear from him...

okay don't take this the wrong way because I am not trying to be rude. But Bob has a lot of stuff going on right now, personal and business. So if he hasn't got to you or answered is because something big is probably going on and he doesn't have the time. I want that cam as bad as anyone else but you will just have to wait until he replies or try somewhere else

I'm having the same problem also, I got a few questions and I'm ready to order a cam ASAP, but don't want to order it if it can't ship out soon.

I'm a shop owner and have tried to get a hold of him as well for this last week, but without success...

I was hoping to get a hold of him, but might need to place the order elsewhere.

I have spent alot of money at EPP over the years. I needed some parts last week and called about 4 times. Didn't get an an answer....so some other shop got my business. I have heard that Bob is going through a lot, and I can understand that. I just place my orders through others. To the original poster, other shops have good forced induction cams as well.

Thanks for the responses everyone and I understand he is going through a lot but I see he is on here nearly everyday but he neglects to answer any PMs, he has posted a new phone number in his sig that no one ever answers or returns voicemails. Oh well so as you guys where saying, what other sellers are there with nearly identical FI cams? Or anyone who has the cam what is the intake centerline on it? Thats the only spec not on his website. This would be very helpful. Thanks guys

Can someone not post the specs and just order straight through comp or whoever it is that grinds their cams? I know that doesn't solve everyones problems as I to have tried contacting them. I have also spent a fair share of money there and hope to do more business in the future.

i would agree,you probably shouldnt step on Bob's toes like that

if you call Comp. they will fix you up(maybe not the exact EPP cam but they can do one very similiar)

i know the EPP cam comes from them because it is what i am running

i also like the rest of you know that Bob must be going through some serious stuff because he was never anything but helpful throughout my whole build

it is a custom grind for Bob so you can only get it through him(I believe)

but tell comp. what you have and are doing and they will fix u up

or tell them you want the EPP blower cam and ill bet you they can do something

like i said maybe not the exact same but i bet you cant tell the difference

This is true I just forgot it was a comp cam since I havent been able to see it on his website. Ill try to find out what they can do for me and mention the EPP cam and perhaps the specs he does have listed and they can sort the rest out.

honestly you wouldnt know without a back to back dyno
but even then we all know that back to back dynoes with the exact same setup can have different results

im simply saying that Comp. makes that cam and they can spec one very similiar without stepping on EPP's toes

i guarantee you they can get him one that will work just as well or better

but im no expert so why dont you enlighten us here

I would say something is going on or something is wrong. I contacted him when I did my pulley swap in November and had no issues whatsoever. He was quick to help and get me what I needed fast.

There are other forced induction cams out there that will work just as well, if not better than the EPP forced induction can. I had it in one my previous build and wasn't too satisfied with it. Since then I had Slowhawk(sponsor) spec me out a cam for my needs, not a off the shelf cam. It works real well. It was only $10 more for him to spec me out a cam..Deffinantly worth it in my opinion. I have heard real good things about Cammotion as well.

Bob made a post last month (or the month before) try searching his name.
IIRC:
he has terrible back pain/spasm(needs surgery)
Plus his wife is going through some serious health stuff as well.

Bob is one hell of a guy, he will get back to you. relax.
