One of my duties here at BTR is doing all of the custom cam work.
So of course had to whip something up for my boy.. Its mild enough to daily drive ,yet has a medium nice lope to it and run hard up to 6800 or so. Even added some special engraving for him on the snout to help him on his journey ... Also we added his initials ( A.D.) since I always call him by his 1st and middle initials all the time .

Cam installed and being degreed in to verify cam timing is correct .
Also time to check PTV( actually did this after the 1st piston was installed although I've done enough camshafts now to know this cam would fit beforehand)
