How quickly can Comp grind a cam? Not bashing here. Fedex delivered my order from ARE this afternoon. Heads, cam, and misc parts. It seems there was a mistake in the order. How quickly can I get a Comp cam? I have the install set for the end of next week.
This is for an ARE stroker, so they have full specs on the motor. The cam that was sent was has XE lobes. I ordered XE-R lobes. Its on a 112 LSA, I ordered a 114 LSA. There were supposed to be a set of comp lifters, no lifters were in the box. I paid for Cometic gaskets, I got genuine GM parts head gaskets instead. The head gaskets they sent are smaller than the bore. Plain GM head bolts in the box. Heads should not have been milled any, but they sent a shorter pushrod (7.350)??? The heads look right. Could they have sent me someone elses order?
I have not called ARE yet, but will do so first thing in the morning. Anyway, back to my original question: How quickly can I get a custom Comp cam?

Re: How quickly can Comp grind a cam? Hey BigTex,
When I talked to Eric at CompCams, he told me that it would take them 10 working days to get it out the door. So it may be a day or two.

Re: How quickly can Comp grind a cam? That sucks man.... I had the same thing just happen to me. I ordered a cam on a 114 lsa and got a 112lsa. I like you...already had install date set in stone, so I guess I am just going to throw it in there that way I don't have to wait anymore. Sorry to hear about your order though!
