yeah its a jay allan cam. Its great, it idles fine with a nice lope and makes great power. Its more expensive than an off the shelf cam but i wanted to get the biggest camI couldwitout having to worry about piston to valve clearance

i love them, i got the heads with srings good for .700 lift for the same price as i would have got AFR185's with springs only good for .550. I dont know why theres not many people using them. When i brought my car in tothe dyno the shop i took it tomostly usesAFR heads, when i told them i had canfields they gave me a weird look but when i went to pick it up even they were really impressed by the numbers they put out. Plus i was able to get 64cc chambers with the canfields to keep the compression down

Well i'm staying with my TW's. I was talking more about the cam and how he could machine one with that much lift and duration while still using the 2.02 valves while using stock bottom end.

I was planning on getting some Canfield 195's & a custom cam from Jay a while back but I ran into some money problems. I still plan on getting them as soon as I can. Good to hear that it worked out on your stock bottom end.
