    Eric's cam challenge

    Not true guys I already commented on this Who made the first DC cams? RAcer Brown? Even Chet Herbert and Crower had many .904 lobes back in the day UD Harold did some for Lunati then Ultradine but not for the earlier Comp line The Lunati's were quieter than the comp and made more power...

    Eric's cam challenge

    Eric's cam challenge

    very streetable lobe profile but would have lots of overlap flow thru so maybe not so great gas mileage and lots of ex heat This test did not care about overlap also since running 110 it was low on compression so an early intake closing really helps great video by the winner and also from 2ed place

    Eric's cam challenge

    too much spin here but DV based his cam on his SBF database, he is currently working on BBC I'm surprised he did as well as he did.

    Eric's cam challenge

    Not exactly Isky had his one and only (catalog) .904 cam for our 62 413 great consistent cam then Racer Brown who ran faster or slower inconsistent The Isky cam is still good for dialing in chassis and would make a good bracket cam but obsolete today and gone from the catalog
