I went to the page and I can't really read the cam specs, there are too many little x's in the way of the numbers.

I wouldn't doubt that for a minute... I've seen a lot of good threads regarding VAspeed work. But as a currently shopping blower cam customer, I just couldn't buy any of these cams without at least knowing the LSA. 22X/23X is fine for me... that gives me plenty of idea of what I'm getting into. But to be secrative about the LSA is scares me away... big difference b/t a 114 and a 117.

your are exactly correct-there is a big difference. That's why you don't see that info. If your looking for a great cam let me know.

Why the big secret? All someone has to do is get a hold of one and it can be measured and spec'd out if they really wanted to copy it. Cant keep anything secret in this world....unless you dont let anyone see it or touch it.

Also what kind of gains are you talking compared to other cams? Why all blowers? No turbo cams?

you are correct ,somebody could. But they are going to have to work at it to copy it.

i have no idea how well they work compared to other cams-we designed these from the ground up to be the best for these particular applications

We've had turbo cams for well over a year

Dude, I guess you didn't detect my sarcasm.

I sure like to know the numbers before I buy a cam.

I would imagine the fact that they were designed for superchargers, not noz, not as well as many other cams out there...

Up to 125 wet shot, any cam will respond well. The difference is in the way the powercurve looks on drugs

That may be true but these were designed SPECIFICALLY for each individual blower for different setups. There are better cams for nitrous that the ones here listed..
