My point is what is there to worry about?
Why not just post the specs to begin with? Every other vendor out there posts specs and they have no problems with others copycatting. Why would LG be any different?

Whitney R is a good buddy of mine. He was building a new H/C package and was torn b/w the TR 224 and G5. He bought both, had the G5 cam doctored because YOU would NOT tell him the friggin' base circle of the cam nor anything else. He'd already been highly screwed by another "tuner" in the past and didn't want it to happen again. Hence he took his OWN cam that he bought with his OWN money and used his OWN money to find out what the specs were on a cam he was sticking into HIS motor that he PAID for.
Jason told Whitney that they had already cam doctored a G5 before. Besides, TErry Burger posted you're "elusive" specs 6 months before Whitney ever considered a cam change. The way you have treated Whitney now and in the past is totally unethical and shows your "true" character. You can feed all the bs you want. Your racing heritage plug is a huge bunch of BS.
This is how you always act. You FIRST lash out your feared competitors and customers then you dwell on your wrong doings and try to crawl back to them. I have seen you do it first hand.
I'm glad Whitney put the TR cam in his car. It's a better cam anyway. You need to hire a new cam designer or just work for TR and be one of the top dogs.
LGM, I'll never buy a single product from you, ever. I'll also never entertain any post you make again regardless of it's grandeur and "racing heritage".

Question: Has a vendor ever copied another vendors cam?
answer: The thunder/MTI/slowtek cams are all almost the same. Monkey see, monkey do.

cam copying started w/ the B1 & T1 cams that came out of MTI. thunder was the largest offender of selling this cam (that they didnt design). i have nothing against thunder, but if they in fact did what Lou says about trying to get the specs, i'll NEVER purchase another product from them no matter how bad or fast i need it. and i'll never suggest one of there cams to another person who is looking for guidance from me about what cam specs to go w/. Lou has alot of work and R&D in these 2 cams, why do you think he would be happy about it getting copied? will any nascar team tell you what cam specs they run for each track? hell no. same for NHRA pro class's. Lou doesnt thing he's smarter than all the other shops, but i believe he works MUCH harder than them. does LG sell BMR, Sphon, Hotchis, suspention parts? no he builds his own! all these other shops buy stuff and rebadge it as there own (primaraly BMR stuff).
like i said, buy it from who builds it. theres a reason it may cost more form one than the other. one may have worked for it, no asked for it.

Levi,
You know how low Whitney's hp is with the package that he has on his car, and you say that you are going to continue on course.
You know what they say, "if you do the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome, then that is the definition of insanity".
I almost laughed when Whitney asked for a refund after he got talked into his tr cam. What you are saying is that the end justifies the means.
It is just not my style to follow the crowd. You will NEVER see a reverse split cam from LGM, and you will now probably see the new TR normal split cam from thunder coming soon to a store near you.
