Sorry for delay, just noticed your message. I'm not sure I fully understand your response?

If you cam works for you then by all means run it. I have built countless engines using off the shelf cams and since having a custom done, I am very happy and will continue to use Bullet Cams going forward.

i guess where i was coming from was the emphasis you placed on a custom grind cam and that was the one thing i skipped in my build, and i came up with slightly more power at about the same cost

so i was wondering what the big deal was

Good numbers on your build, by the way. I have since moved on with a set of 2.02/1.60 fully ported and polished J heads with port matched airgap intake....to say the difference was impressive would be an understatement.

now were getting somewhere
im pretty sure im running J heads too, but mine were opened up to the larger valves and Mike, who build my engine did quite a bit of massaging to both the heads and the weiand action plus

so looking back, maybe my engine had an advantage over your in the heads department
it would be interesting to see what numbers your making right now, that your heads are able to flow what the cam needs

was the airgap on there from the beginning and just matched now, or did you change out intakes?
