Don't feel bad about camshaft info overload.
Too damn many of them out there, IMO, and every other shop that sprouts up these days thinks there is a need to have a cam they call their "own", as if they have the inside skinny on engine building 101.

I guess this was a love note to whom now ?

If being complacent and unwilling to accept that MAYBE there is a better way to do something.

So Yuill bros,GMR,DBW,PHR,HotShot Motorworks are all just supposed to buy shelf cams and do things the same as everyone else ?

To answer the question.....Not at all...I would not waste my time typing that if I didn't think it was true,clearly the difference between people in this or any other business.

OP, i have a 13 with 103, and i have bassani RR 2-1, PV, and decided on the woods 222. i chose that one because i like a lot of low end pull, and the curves seemed to suggest that it hits quicker than the rest. i've been very happy with the 222, as it starts pulling at about 2000 and runs out great all the way to redline.

thanks I have looked at them too. They seem real strong, also have my eye on s and s mr-103. Seems that there are a handful of cams to get the job done.
