I recently bought a purple shaft Cam and lifters from eBay and when I open the box that shaft is not . should I be worried that I got ripped off? Also I had a set of lunati micro troll lifters on the shelf and wondering if they're better than the Mopar performance tappets or or or should I just stick with the MP lifters
 
Sorry if this is been covered before.. I'm new tio the sight and still ann figuring everything out

Exactly.. it's not painted purple.. I had a purple shaft that i bought years ago, and it was painted purple.. But, the one i just bought does have the exact samecasting marks in various places in the cam On the ends and in between the lobes. I'll try to upload some pics of each.
 
what is the part number of the camshaft?
I have several Mopar camshafts that are not purple.....
 
Purple shafts are probably just a namesake now for a Mopar grind. They sourced any maker to make them to their specs so it may or may not be 'purple' in color. I wouldnt sweat it.
 
The newer purple shafts, are not painted purple anymore.

Edit: I should have said the new Purple Shafts from Mopar Performance.

I have seen many so called purple shafts that came from Racer Brown that were NOT purple.

That's kinda what i was thinking...thanks
 
I'm not sure that another cam grinder can use the same complete specs for a Mopar cam (including that precise lobe shape) without paying Chrysler for the privilege. They won't even let folks make long unavailable trim parts without paying them! Isn't Mopar Performance still selling the old style Purple Shaft Cams?
