If you'll notice, it's the same few guys ruining my threads.
If it weren't for them coming in on their almighty high horses, we might have some info pertaining to the subject at hand.

You are talking about custom cams that are actually shelf cams. Moot.
This is the point I am trying to make along with what RamAir stated, dumbass. People claim to have "custom cam" in their signature yet the times displayed are nothing special compared to those with off the shelf cams. Who knows, including the customer, whether or not the cam was ground as a "one off." It's the same thing in this thread. OP calls CM, spends a few minutes explaining the car is stock disp/stock heads/stock intake and they may already have a cam which was ran in several other cars years ago while dubbing it "custom."
You want to make such bold statements as to how you know a "true custom cam" can be "ideal" compared to one off the shelf yet all it looks like you are doing is deflecting. The problem is you are too stupid to pull it off.

I can be blamed too, since you didn't say low horse I figured I'd finger myself. I argue with jackasses. It's a problem I have.

Nah, anybody can spec a cam themselves and get it ground.

Here's my info: Call whatever cam company you want. Explain to them you have nothing but a stock engine. Give them your money. Stab cam into stock engine. Go run times less, equal or miraculously greater than other off-the-shelf jobbers and post results.
Very simple. You dig?

Wasn't it the norm for a h/c car to be trapping 118-122 with a cc306 and gtp heads 10 years ago? Now 110-115mph h/c cars are accepted as normal.

Now, if you're posting something something that doesn't pertain to this, why are you here?
Take your bickering somewhere else. Please.

That's what spawned all this bullshit. People who've worked on, witnessed, been a great part of the LT1 community since the early/mid 90's ended up having to deal with the ignorant who at that time hadn't discovered what their right hand was for yet.

I may one day. I have specs in mind. I found a used "custom" cam that was close but not what I wanted. I bought an LE cam for the sake of money/time.

Couldn't find a cam close enough.

I've been a HUUUUGE GM847 advocate for years.

I'd blow my car up if it trapped that low h/c.

You are talking about custom cams that are actually shelf cams. Moot.

I wonder about the fastest LT1 on the internet...
What cam does tony sheppard run?
Taner?
Sikora?
what did big rick run?
jeff gilbert?
george baxter?

They must all run the shelf cams, right? Cause now they are just as good.
If someone is trying to accomplish one of their results it would stand to reason they should try a similar setup. At the same time though a stock shortblock, stock heads car is nothing like those cars. Compare apples to apples.

bowtienut and I run the same cam(and heads) as speed_demon24 with pretty good results. bowtienut has a current thread on his race prepped 3800lbs Impala running 11.1 with 60ft times the same as my STREET car ran on 11.5s so he has more left in it on a good track.
I would call that an example of a "custom" cam that worked so well the vendor started selling lots of them.

Yeah his cam worked so well for you you took it out after what three separate sets of springs could not control it.

Stop deviating from the original argument - you're only making yourself look even more clueless. No one in here agrees with you. Custom grind cams work better than off the shelf grinds in high HP applications where tolerances are much slimmer. We are talking about a stock LT1 bottom end with stock LT1 heads. Why can't you understand that?

ALL of those heavy hitters run custom cams, but also run wild intake setups, converted heads, huge amounts of spray and boost, etc. Also the record, George Baxter was a SBC, not an LT1.

Perhaps those who are here have not lived under a rock before you got your LT1 and have first hand experience, information and knowledge. I dunno...
