While you try to be helpful your often insulting and belittling without realizing it. Not ever build has to be precise and built to the maximum.

Yes! Sometimes good enough Chevy lobes will do just fine. Rocker geometry off? Sometimes it will just have to do.

You can bash the issue, the OE poster, me and anyone else that has an opposing opinion or lack of money to “Do it your way, the right way, or be bashed and ridiculed to death but in the long run, your not helping.

Sometimes, is just getting it going....

I wasn’t bashing anyone. The OP asked for opinions and didn’t like what he got so he got pissy and said the thread was in the ditch.

If you don’t want honest opinions don’t ask. I did say I missed the magnum head part of it, so that’s that.

It’s been my opinion and and will continue to be my opinion that for the extra few bucks and a little more time, even someone with a combo like the OP can benefit from CALLING (not an email, not a text but a phone call so you can have a fluid conversation) several cam grinders with tech guys that know what they are doing or the guy that answers the phone is grinding the cams, or at least has done it.

Unless you are someone special you won’t get that from Comp. You get a minimum wage guy who looks at the same catalog as everyone else.

That’s why I say CALL around, see who you get along with the best. Tell them exactly what you want and what you have and you’ll always get a better cam. You may not see it in peak numbers, but area under the curve and driveability is where this shows up. And this is exactly what most guys claim they want.
