Yes we use Cam Motion for our cams, most of the lobes that we use were designed for FMS using the criteria Allan specified, so therefore those particular grinds are only available through FMS. Cams are very difficult to compare, they are much more than duration, lift and lsa. If you want to compare our lobes to Comp I would say they would be more comparable to the LS1 High RPM series.
Its hard to compare in general what each cam would do but the biggest difference in our cams is the power through the mid-range and ability to remain stable in upper rpm's.
Hope this helps some.

Well I've seen a cam card for an FMS cam and one of AAP cams they are identical. I'm sure FMS developed some lobes there but of course they're going to want you to buy from them as opposed to cam motion.

Im sure FMS would prefer you buy their cams from them, as Im also sure LG would prefer you buy his G5X2 from him instead of Comp......

FWIW my cam is on a 114+0 and the graph is still nice and fat
