Good luck, there about as tight lipped as tight lipped can be about them. PM him and you may be able to find out more about them. In general they make great power though.

Yep, if I can't talk to my cam grinder about his/her specs then I don't want anything to do with it. Good luck, the Rex is nasty.

FWIW Joe O cut a grind for a local racer. He was trapping 117 before and after Joe O worked some magic with his heads (had to rework them) and cut a custom grind he was trapping 122+.

This is at 8000 ft DA air.

I personally don't have a problem with them not releasing specs as long as they tell me how to install it (LSA). What matters is if the package performs, see above example.

You should ask him what he got out of the cam. Before and after results, track times would be best.

Also, what was the rest of the setup? I'm assuming its a combination specific cam, something you should find out.
