i did a search but didnt really find anything about there cams,was wondering if any one has used one of there cams and what they think of it?im looking at a certin cam from them (info below)and wanted to see what you guys think of these specs.i think this would be a good cam for a cam only car, i figured to go bigger than the tsp228r that i was looking at and this should have some driveability. i just dont want to buy a 228r and wish i went with a bigger cam
plus im going to continue using nitrous
thanks joe

I used one of their cams in an L98. That's not LSx, but still, the quality seemed good, the results were very good, and I'd do it again.

 

cool thanks for the reply,cam specs are about the same as thunders raptr
cam,but 113lsa instead of 111lsa and lift is slighty diff. can any one tell me if pac 1518 will be fine with this cam?
thanks joe

 

"Computer-Controlled Compatible No"

You might want to make sure it's got provisions for the cam sensor to read cam position.

 

thats a very good point it most likely does,i know alot of the cams for 5.0s on summits website say the same thing never had any problems.

 

My current cam was ground by Howards and I'm happy with it.

 

MPFD if you don't mind me asking how much did they charge you? At the moment I'm waiting to hear back about the current cam choice. May just do a custom ground if it comes down to it

 

My current is the Patriot Cam, Howards grinds it for them...
