The 'Hammer' Cam Quick question....
The fabled 'Hammer Cam' was referred to in an Australian publication recently as being a GM product.
I think the Hot Cam' might be what the 'writer' was confusing in terms of being GM.The Hammer and Thunder cams I though were produced third party.
What's the true origin of the 'Hammer Cam' and where can a fella get a hold of one?

H82bBad was working for TEA when he spec'd out the cam for GoFastTA and selected the 222/222 XE .566/.566 lift cam. This was before Raughammer used the cam.
Later, Raughammer made the cam popular with his exploits and dubbed the Hammer cam because he liked it so much. MTI also sells it as the C1.
It's Comp Cams grind an many other shops also sell the same cam.
