I cracked up when I heard "stick snapper" That doesn't even make sense.

There was that one guy with hot chili cheese dog cam or something like that.

Its all a gimic to sell more cams for the companies but for a average guy to "make-up" a custom cam and call it a super cheezy name like "stick snapper" is well you know kinda

the EPS cams are supposed to be easier on the valvetrain (?) while still making the same power as some of the bigger cams, right?

It's got better valve events than a magic stick because I wasn't concerned about it fitting under a stock head (which it won't). It makes more power in the midrange and carries better after peak. It's just better.

Average guy... haha. You don't know me from anyone. I own my own top end modifications business. I port heads, intakes, and spec cams. Granted I just started, so no, you don't know my name.. yet. Look for a dyno with this cam and stock heads in the next month.

Edit: And no, I do not call it a "stick snapper". It's part of a package I only sell with the heads. But I had a feeling calling it that might generate a little bit of talk.

The 236/248 Geoff called the T-Rex killer. It will make more in the midrange and carry better. He said it on this site. He designed the T-Rex so I think he knows a thing or 2 about it. He also personally designed the lobes for the cam. The dude is smart.

In a m6 car Geoff's old Tr 224 grind made 425 rwhp with ease so this one will get there with no problem. As far as chopiness it should be just as choppy or more since it is ground on a 110 lsa.

Dont get your panties in a bunch "Paint it Black" your right i dont know you and i dont think contradicting yourself will get your name viewed in a higher light..you said your cam was not designed to fit under stock heads yet now you are sayin look out for a dyno of your cam under stock heads..I never really bought in to bigger is better but there are big cams like the ms4 and trex that flat out get it done, cant argue with real world results now can you?? But i am sure you will..Here is a video of a freind of mines car at the track in a cam only 02 SS..And yes you guessed it its a trex..I dont have to show you any ms4 cam cars TSP has done enough of that dont you think??? ..

My cam has three degrees less exhaust duration, but real close. I think I'm gonna throw mine in with some P&P heads first of next year...

11.63? I've seen bolt-on cars run faster. That is not impressive to me, sorry.

Yeah, they are big cams. That's why they have made power before. They're old tech. The intake lobe on my cam is smaller than both the t-rex and ms4 by the way. And I'm not sure how I'm contradicting myself. My cam won't fit under stock heads. I have to flycut, but it will still be run with stock 241's. I could really give a **** what people on this site think about me. This site is junior high in the world of racing performance. I don't drink the kool-aid like you do. People can listen to me and go fast, or not listen to me and maybe go fast. it's up to them, doesn't bother me either way.
