[QUOTE]Originally posted by AaronC: [QB] Most people think that custom cams are made from lobes that they magically make up for you. When in fact they use individual lobes from different cam companies and use them. They look up all the #'s through a master lobe list and match lift points etc and durations. They'll pick the LSA, Intake Centerline (ICL), and the two lobes to make up the cam. Ed Curtis, Buddy Rawls, and Brian seem to be the leaders in the mustang world. Brian's website is misleading. He cuts you what you want. All have different theories and all make power. I happen to like Brian but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use any of the others. Brian likes using the Comp Cam xe lobes. The hard part is that they'll mix and match lobes from chevy's and ford and you have to convert durations etc because the different base circle sizes. If you really knew what you were doing you could pick your own cam from comp cams themselves. I'm not that good, as Brian, Ed, Buddy are all mechanical engineers with lots of experience and R&D behind their methods. Anderson cams could be custom. But the word custom doesn't just mean it's a good cam. I've heard of guys call cams custom but don't take into account the info needed to optimize. These guys seem to have it locked down though. It's really fun just to get these guys on the phone and just listen to the different theories etc. They all have impressive credentials. Ed has some very serious performers out there and Brian has a few heavy hittin strokers. A lot of people seem to doubt the performers of some of these cars but being that they're starting to pop up locally, people will start to believe they're for real. It's not hard to see that a car making 355/355 at 3100 lbs can run 11.6's at 118 MPH with good traction. Brian just did a 347 stroker that made 408 RWHP (5800 RPM)/393 RWTQ (5000 RPM). It's still untuned and will probably make 415 possibly 420. It's in a light car so it's gonna boogie. Mike's going one notch above in cam. I say just talk to em all and see what they say. They can account for piston to valve clearance issues. They have access to an insane amount of lobes. [/QB][/QUOTE]
