Good Cam Choice?

Jersey Devil said

I've read most of the books he wrote over the years and plenty of other competion engine build and theory books. Have plenty of formulas and excel spreadsheets for calulating ho, cfm requirements, gearing, , dynamic compression, runner cross section & length to harness intake harmonics, desktop dyno programs.

Camshafts are the subject I want more info on but every source just repeats the Basic information. ALL the cam companies, don't respond to email or cam recommendation forms. The people on the phones have know clue when I ask them specific questions. They just want to "Push" a Shelf grind people.

90% of the combos guys are running on here won't work for what I want/ consider Daily Driveable.

I got through about 100 pages on this forum do far... I will just keep looking.

There comes a time where you need to find information directly from grinders willing to talk. This I have done but still refuse to make any specific recommendations on the net since text and not a personal talk can be very different conversations with the exact same words used. Opinions on streetable, idle quality, etc., vary to much.


I’ve had guys here suggest I read a few books and all of which I have read. They think one way I think another way and the OP looking for advice hates both of our suggestions.

It’s a no win.

If the basic info or an upgraded conversation doesn’t cover it, I get it. 100%! I’d say in this case since you know a few things and since you get frustrated by the forum help, then I suggest to you that your more than likely capable of making a good choice for yourself.
