Recently it has been realized that the stock cam gears aren't as far off as we think...thry aren't perfect but they're just part of the problem. The real issue is that the cam manufacurers can deffinatly guarentee that all the lobes are in sync w one another...but thry can't promis that they are 100% in sync with the keyway...therefore adj cam gears are needed.
Sorry for the **** typing...im posting from my phone
So, are you saying that they can garauntee the cams will come with the same specs as advertised or what's on the cam card? Because my cams actually came from Bullet at a 115 ICL and a 117 ICL. I mean that's a huge difference.
yeah dude what #'s are you expecting? My numbers are pretty much the same mods, minus the 78mm T/B (which is on the car now). Im curious what that T/B will do for the cams.
Really??? I just did mine a month ago. I'm not sure what's up here. According to Nick it's not just Bullet with the issues. Comp, and the other major grinders have these issues as well. Although, from what i gather mine were a little farther out of spec than most.

Yeah, 5* and 7* seems ridiculous IMO. That's borderline unacceptable. I can't believe that cam grinding companies are letting variances like that leave the door. I can't be that hard to just align the damn things before you cut the keyways.
typing forgiven LOL. I'm glad I'm not the only forum junkie that checks threads on their cell phone!
I agree...it is ridiculous. You should get what you pay for right? But considering that it's a somewhat common occurrence with all grinders, what are your options really. You know what i mean?

Yeah, if they all do it, there really are no other options. Just is asinine that major machine shops are delivering products that far off from specs. Especially when every .001" matters with these motors. Good thing timing/crank gears have the ability to correct their half-assed work.
