Re: Cam Selection Question

I also got the cam, lifters, and springs for my stroker through Racer Brown. Just be sure to have all of your specs and intended useage ready when you call. You will be happy with the results as I am. You can also try www.4secondsflat.com for the Racer Brown cam grind spec sheets.

When I built my 440, I called a number of Cam companies including Comp Cams. They all had some good suggestions. I ended up speaking with Jim who currently owns the Racer Brown specs and brand and selected one of their Cam's and was very happy with the driveability and the performance offered from it. He even added a little extra umphf for the altitude I was at. The last number I had for him was 410-866-7660?

Anyone who tries to sell you a cam without asking for your engine specs and intended application is just guessing at what you are looking for. ?
