Ed Curtis is the designer of the Street Sweeper cams that are on the FTI web site (his site). Ed is actually local to me and has a strong engineering background. I have no clue who Mike is.

Ed-Check with Mike...

Kyle-> Do you share the cam cards on these, or will I need to ask Mike for them?
I am just wondering on these grinds...I know of several people in the area
who run them...just trying to decide on the grind. I will still be going
through you for the kit.


Ed-I don't carry them since they were originally designed for AZPS but they can be recreated at any time. I do have the information on them.

Ed


Kyle- I have another question about your grinds. Do you still carry the AZPS02 and AZPS03 grinds?


Part of our convo before Ed squared me away. Idk know if Mike came up with the grinds, or Ed, but either way....they are a great series of cams. Maybe Ed designed the cams for Mike, I am not sure. Either way, Ed is a ******* Genius with cams. Maybe I was wrong with Mike creating them, but Ed did tell me to talk to Mike about the grinds to see which I wanted.

Ed designed the cams for Mike but probably vouched to only sell them through AZPS

As I said in my first post in this thread, we installed one of his small cams and did really well with it. Nice street cam that did a few short of 400 in a Vette.

Yea, I hear the lobes are custom too. I don't have too much info on them. Its great on the street though, as long as you treat it as a cammed vehicle...no 1500 rpm cruising and stuff like that. Very fun to drive that is for sure.

New Era sells FTi cams, so you can get them there easily. My good friend just bought a steetsweeper for his Z06, and was looking at geting some TEA heads. The car will run very well.
