[Mr. Chevy]

Not to start a huge disagreement, major discussion or "burst anyone's bubble" on these cams, but I just recently spoke to a very reputable and good engine builder in my neck of the woods who chuckled when I brought this very same topic up. He told me that basically one maker/grinder makes most all of these "non-special grind/general" cams and sells them to the major companies such as crane, comp., etc... who put their name on them.. He said they are all about the same at this level..

However, he told me that when you start getting into the "high end" or "special" race cams is when these companies develop their own cams/grinds and make same.. He said it is at this level that they take a certain pride in their cams and the engineering that goes into same..

I guess this is just "food for thought" and I am passing on what I was told which I found interesting... He was saying the same holds true for lifter sets...

With that said, I have a comp. cams L78 grind cam in my Nova and it has been a great cam!! The motor has been together since around 1999.... I'm sure alot of guys here will disagree with what I was told and have their specific preferences and may have experienced differences with the different manufacturers of these cams, but like I said I found this interesting and have never heard this before....
