seems like a awfully cocky name to give a cam that hasnt done anything impressive yet, im not saying it wont, but kinda jumping the gun eh?
and stock lifters work fine, i have fast ramp and high lift and lots of passes and i think mines performing just fine

I still don't understand why these guys hide their specs. Sure, you can get a custom grind using someone's specs but.........the masses (where you make your money) will buy a cam right from the company.
How many TR224 cams are out there or TREX for that matter? And everyone knows those specs.
I just don't get it

I use an off the shelf tr224, if I were to have one ground I would use the internet service to get specs(its from a very reputable cam company) and then actualy have them grind it as well because its easier for me to say OK I'll buy it online than it is for me to drive 40 miles round trip to get it done. IF you have confidence in your product and arent selling it a higher price than most you dont have problem with releasing specs. But the only vendors I know of that dont release specs also sell their stuff at a much higher cost than the others. Their stuff isnt any better, they just want you to think so. Its the marketing game that they all have to play to sell their stuff to make money.
