Default Custom Cam

I am looking for a place that I can make a completely custom cam for my LS1. I am looking to make the cam specs the same as an LS9 cam so that I don't have to buy all the LS2 hardware. Any recommendations?

Tick performance is very popular. There are others just as good too like EPS look in the sponsor area and call a few of the shops and find one you feel comfortable with. I am planning do do some work to my car this winter and still have not decided what cam and who to use yet lol.

It would be really ignorant to box yourself into an OEM profile while trying to get an aftermarket company to grind you a cam on the right blank. Besides the fact they wont have the OEM profile to grind.

Find someone you trust and ask them to spec a cam.

LS2 hardware? What are you talking about? FTW my car made awesome power with a FTI Streetsweeper HT cam. Gobs of low end torque on the street and near 400 RWHP with stock 241 heads and LTs.

I vote Tooley. He knows his heads and what each head likes as far as a cam to match them.
