Lookie Here...
Guess what I got in the mail today...
My custom designed and ground camshaft by Camshaft Innovation. I'd give the specs but I'm not quite ready to show my cards just yet....
Let's say my engine build has been revamped. I raise you $50!

It was $329 plus shipping. It costs about the same as a regular OTS camshaft.

Sherm, you also just spend $50 and Jay will pick the best OTS (off the shelf) camshaft for you 351W. Camshaft selection is a tricky business, the right one and its a monster, the wrong one and it's a dog.

$50 chooses the CORRECT camshaft for your application. You would still have to buy the actual camshaft. If you do change your mind that $50 is discounted against the price of the custom grind.
