TSP cam specs missing??
TSP cam specs missing?? I recently purchased a TSP 225/225 .589/.589 112 cam and noticed it has no markings whatsoever on it and didn't include a spec card. Is this normal from them?
Thanks for the info guys. I wasn't planning on installing it for another month anyway, so I have time. Maybe they will pay for Thunder to doctor it instead of shipping it back, since I pass them on the way to work everyday.

I'll ask and see if there is any 225 cam cards around though.
I would make sure that it was the right cam sence it has no marks. Not to bash on tsp sence i cam going to get my next cam from them but we all are human we can make mistakes. Now it would be cool if they sent you a huge nasty cam but you would break all you springs in a week or so, if it was the new V??? something cam.
Hmmm...let's see. I can mic the lobes and multiply by 1.7 for the lift. If I get a protractor, a piece of string and a hamster, figuring out the duration shouldn't be to difficult. How do you get the LSA spec again? Where is that jrp "Cam How To" document when I need it.

Jason at TSP is a cool guy. Just got off the phone with him discussing the missing spec card on my new cam. He is sending out to pick it up, spec it and ship it back for free. He is also giving me a great deal on some Harland Sharp rockers and free shipping.
TSP!

finally some of you other guys to. i got the 231/237 with no markings and no card. i searched and searched in the box but nothing. on my reciept it was checked off so just assumed it was the correct one. i guess i will find out next week when i start it.
Man, you guys are searching for info. Nice to see that. Give TSP a call, they will make good on it. I wanted to make sure I had what I purchased. I wouldn't assume anything. Who are you going to blame if it's wrong and you bend some valves? Another thing, it will be a lot easier to sell in the future if you have the cam card.

this just reminded me, i need to contact tsp for a camcard on my ms3. i noticed it didnt have one and was gonna call, but forgot until i saw this. can any TSP folks hook me up? I bought the ms3 about 3 weeks ago.. maybe 4.
