Cams How do you choose one?

When you just can’t make that final decision....... tear out the page in the catalog that has the cams you’re interested in and pin it to the wall.

Standing at the correct competition distance from the wall...... let the three Darts make the decision for you.

If you don’t have any darts handy....... in a pinch, I’ve used a Ouija board.

I like the custom grind approach myself... I needed a hyd. roller cam for my 5.9 Magnum build but due to the high altitude and somewhat low compression (9:1 with AL heads) I felt like choosing an off-the-shelf grind would let me down in some aspect. I called Jim at Racer Brown and he custom-ground me a cam that works fantastic. Pulls hard to 6000 RPM yet still has enough grunt to get my Duster moving with 2.94 gears (3.55s are a high priority now) and has a nice-sounding choppy idle. I will probably hit him up again for any engine builds I do in the future unless it's some low-dollar thrown-together combo from spare parts.
