He also told me my cam would never make power in my setup (it made 30 HP per PSI on a 4.8), that he tested the SS2 cam on Tooley's spintron and it sucked (this got him fired for lying), and that VSRacing turbos will never make power or go fast. He also literally calls himself a cam grinder (he has never cut a cam), and somehow thinks that choosing lobes out of Comp's lobe catalog means the cam his somehow is own proprietary design.
Bewley is a keyboard warrior that uses other's results as his "proof", having done very very very little on his own. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.

The Sloppy Army vs fat John was perhaps the most entertaining internet event of the year!
Maybe at one time, but they have long since parted ways. Spoke with the Squirrel tuned fella. John spec'd his cam supposedly. It was a little out of the norm too. Ground on a 111+5 LSA. Believe it was a 227/233 with around .600 lift. I don't follow him or his stuff closely. But the SBE record holder cams/combos are always of interest to me.
LOL I knew the Bewley comments would follow. I absolutely agree with everything said here before, and I don't follow him at all anymore. Just something he said, take it for what you will.

This is the vsracing s480-s485 with race cover and “aero unit” $750
However, someone I know crashed last week and passed away. Car has rear mount twin 66s on it. Built 408 with a m28 built trans , whatever the hell thT is... I got my th400 already anyways. Working on grabbing the car for 3k. That would change things a bit. It made 550 on e85 on 8psi. He was waiting to install the new trans to up boost and other night was cold and car got away from him.

worst part, car had a cage but only 6pt. From seats back. He would be alive if cage was finished across pillars.
I've definitely stepped up my safety game since Joe's deal. Several other people around here have as well, if that is one thing you can take away positive from it. He had an 8.50 cage in his car but it was for sure well into the 7's (388 and twin 76's on methanol). From what I've heard a different cage probably wouldn't have saved him. One little thing being different though and he wrecks his car and probably walks away vs. passing. Sucks to hear about your local dude but keep spreading the word in a respectful manner. Hopefully people take something away from it and make an appt with a chassis guy or order a hold and weld kit online.

The guys breaking these records have such overkill setups, they could toss in a shelf cam with +/- 5 .050" duration, +/- .030" lift, and +/- 3 degrees of LSA and run within a tenth of their current times.
Find me any high dollar big power setup NOT specced by Bewley that isn't running amazing times and blames the camshaft for it.

First it was Baker with Capizzi... Then Bewley with Jack Roberts 4.8... Summit also states their new turbo cams are more gentle on the valvetrain. I'd like to know what lobe they are going with... is it marine stuff?
