Most of the cams from the vendors are comps... They just order them with their custom grind....

Yes,but I was wondering why he bought a cam straight from Comp Cams instead of one from Thunder Racing custom cams.I know they are roughly the same price.Is there really any advantage to Thunder Racing's grinds?It is just a tough choice with all the cams out there by Crane,Comp,and the custom grinds by TR and TSP.All of them have a cam for every purpose and performance that to a point it gets confusing what cam would benefit your engine the most.I mean it is your $380 plus you are paying,so you want the best.

My cam was bought through Thunder.

In fact, it is a custom grind designed by Patrick G for me.

Rod bolts.

My engine is a 99, updated rod bolts did not come stock until 2001. So basically it was the weakest point in my bottom end, and now I will be able to spin it higher.

bj - One of the criteria I gave Patrick when he specced the cam was that it made power up high.

zach - None of the sponsors seemed to carry them, so I had to order from Summit. That's about the only thing in the pictures not ordered from sponsors.
