I recently called Comp about a custom ground LT1 solid roller cam my builder got from them. I also mentioned that I purchased many other Comp parts to compiment the cam such as rockers, lifters, push rods, and their LT1 solid roller timing chain. I had a few simple questions about my cam specs and how it would drive on the street. The guy could not get me off the phone fast enough. If someone has no passion in their job they should not be doing it, especially when it comes to welfare of other people.
. He really believed there was no more power to be gained going custom. To top it off he said the car would not stay running with less than a 112 lsa - no matter what the size of the cam
How do all those BRE guys do it?? Must be El Breto's magic. Case in point ask for cam advice on this forum or pay for advice. Comp is useless but I guess we should be thankful the springs are being made in mexico rather than china.

The only pic I have of the box that they came in is too blury to read for sure...but it almost looks like my batch # starts with 24xxx 
If thats true, then mine should be fine, right?

I bought mine from Bret Bauer by the way.
