Street cam with torque(full precise details)
You do need to buy the cam before you get the specs on it. However to get any references or any information you would deem useful for choosing would not need to be paid for. You can continue talking about it being a scam that you need to pay for a cam to have the specs, but thats how many do it. This goes for other portions of the automotive world as well. For example, Sam Strano provides info but will not setup your suspension setup for you over the internet or very precisely over then phone if all your wanting is info and specs, he no longer does this because: certain customers would then take his knowledge and buy from somewhere else for $5 less for the part.
I'll give some examples:
Ed wright will not give you a program unless you pay for it. How do I know that I'm likely to get great results?...his credentials.
Same with Joe O, C.A.M., A.I., my personal engine builder (National AND World record holder).
I think you'll agree that I understand your point, and now you may see why others are seeking credentials?

I know of a few members who had cam issues and ended up returning them. One turned into a flame fest with Bret claiming his extra custom grind was custom everywhere but advertised specs. Something about a 230-236 cam? (Some will remember this) I've also seen BRE motors having big issues that resulted in a flight to fix it, but this was spun into a "I'm the greatest builder ever, I fly to fix" rather than my build was a piece...
I'm sure if I cared to go farther than my memory, I could research some more on this and other forums. Maybe the L92 402 that couldn't break 500? But it's kind of a grey area as many people appear to be happy with mediocre and excuses for results. Seems few people will admit that $1800 in heads/cam that barely outruns hotcam setups is something to be unhappy about.

Cliff notes: 2-3 examples mentioned result in a happy customer of Bret's, that have stated they would return for business in the future.

you do realize we are talking about cams here right
I understand what you are saying and I am not calling his business a scam. The point I'm making is that a business should provide a background for a likelyhood of good results.

For the whole last 5 pages everyone was arguing about times with LE setups, not just bretts cams. Anyway I'm done with this thread since everyone loves to twist words around in it, continue on.
Before you leave, were you not satisfied with Bret's cam? I know you got to run it with your heads, before Lloyd touched them. How do you feel?
Seems like you just called out a person for producing under performing setups while claiming to be the greatest at something with no credentials or substantiation...
I don't want to call that hypocracy, but it is close.
You made the right conclusion about asking for LE/BRE setups. Your setups is plenty perdinent here.
Pot meet kettle to me? Come on now. I am not calling PG out, I am stating the facts. I was giving an example, even on a R&D attempt with Bret's cam, he already made 20+ RWHP more then another guy that specs cams, and on that site is supposed to be a great cam designer. I don't believe it to by hypocracy, just an good example. Bret has credentials, just not a website directly towards marketing them to the general public. With some research it would be pretty easy to find some pretty fine ones at that.
I would like to know the same. And as far as your heads go, lets just say it's a shame. But I really can't comment on what might have happened to cause the damage. Can you say for certain? Did you not get any satisfaction from Lloyds machine shop, if it was their doing? My quess, and only a guess, would be that someone else besides the regular person that installs guides worked on you heads. Sounds like something that would happen to me. So if you would like to refresh everyones (me) memory on the conversation and results of same, I'm all ears.
He had a BRE cam with his LE heads and he is not satisfied. Don't be stupid. You will do/say anything to save your pathetic motive.

If YOU are going to contribute to this thread, stop trying to twist the point of the argument.
