Default Submit Your Custom Cam Specs

in the name of science, research, and proving a point to myself and probabl other MF members - anyone with a custom ground cam please post your lift/duration/centerline so i can do some research.

Thanks!

*edit* i anticipate + .600 solid lift radical grinds used in straight up drag cars to be worth getting custom, but anything in the .500 - .600 hyd. street driver range to be a waste of money over choosing the best "out of the box" cam available for your application.

we'll know soon enough [8D]

If people actually post thier custom cam specs I think this will be a very informative thread. If possible you should also try to compare the difference in price to similar off the shelf cams and see if the power gain one might get from a custom cam is worth the extra price, especially for a mostly street driven car.

i dont think it will be informative at all. it will be just another crap shoot because every motor is different. just because you have the same heads and intake as me, doesnt mean that we both run the same power adder, same tranny, same gear ratio, same suspension mods, same bottom end, same accesories, etc. my cam was custom for my car, not your car with similar mods.

i think it could be quite informative. my goal is to see if for example, a person paid 2-3 times the price for a cam thats only a couple degrees apart, a few thousands different in lift, and similar centerlines. it should be noted that changes within those small tolerances will be unnoticable on the street.
