Default Custom cam anyone ?

Did any of You ever try ordering and installing custom made camshaft with Your own specs ?
I know You did.
If You did tell me how did that turn out for You ?

I had a 223/226 .579/.578 114 lsa made and with LT's and an UD pulley and a cutout (no LS6 or P&P TB) I put down 397rwhp/395rwtq. It also turned a 12.6 @ 112 mph on street tires and full wieght (tire and jack and subs all in the car).

It was made by cam motion BTW

Thunder Racing loves grinding cams for customers. They will make it as ordered or offer up recommendations for your exact combination. Geoff is the one to talk with about this. 225-754-7223.

mine is, 228/228, 588/588 on a 114, I went from 330 rwhp to 379 but I also added a pulley at the same time, that is through a 3200 vig and 3.42 gears, I lost 17 rwhp when I did the converter and the 3.42's.

Turned out great. Wanted to get the bulk of my increase in the mid rpm ranges and I got exactly that plus pulls hard from the red-light.... specs in sig... I need to dyno again and see where I gained and where I lost...
