it is a custom grind but there are only a few actual grinders in the nation most places that specialize in custom grinds just call it in after they have designed it on the computer.....it often takes the designer a few hours to mock up lobe profiles

I wasn't disapointed with the results as they were, I just don't want to use the bottle to get 10.80's/ 90's, that's all I want out of this.....this car is starting to turn into a race car and I never intended it to be such, just a fast street car.....oh well, anyway, I wish to preserve my nice ford strokers 347 and when i PULLED the pan saturday, it was clean!! your bottm end has held it's own..... nice work!!!.
