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.

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.

You should make 280+ with a bump in compression and those cams. MRT made 284rwhp and 300rwtq, but no bump in compression.
