Custom Grind Cam

I know Comp Cams can do custom grinds but where can I get specs to send them? Or who knows a reputable engine builder that I can give my engine specs to to get a cam made?

Re: Custom Grind Cam

Do they outsouce it to a company like COMP Cams or do it in house? I've just seen some crazy stuff with regrinds (which hopefully they don't do). I'll give them a call Monday.

Re: Custom Grind Cam

They will design a cam to your build. Call comps tech support and they will take your build info and design a cam for you. Cost the same as an off the shelf cam.

For mines, Cambell gave comp the spec and it was drop ship from Comp to me.

Re: Custom Grind Cam

Steve Morris will do a custom grind using bullet cams. Its not only the specs but lobe profiles and other little things that can make a difference. Not exactly cheap, but it is the center of the motor that tells it what to do.

You don't exact give them cams spec and they will grind it for you. Comp Cams has a lobe profile catalog and you pick the lobe and seperation for them to grind on your cam. Campbell's and turbo time use lobes from comp cams.

Re: Custom Grind Cam

I just want to do a custom grind since its not much more than a off the shelf unit. Not to mention its designed for my setup and will have a better profile for turbo.

My setup will be:

Stock block, Vortec heads, Cryo crank, 4 bolt conversion, Eagle rods, Wiseco forged pistons, factory intake, PTE6266 (ball bearing), Factory manifolds, RPM downpipe with 3 inch exhaust, RPM A2A, 75lb injectors, Holley 58mm TB, 1.5 roller rockers. Will try to shoot for 550-650 HP range. Will be using Holley Dominator stand alone EFI.

Re: Custom Grind Cam

This is a definition of "Custom Cam" in a nutshell. At least an affordable one.



Kenne Bell cams were ground by Iskiderian Cams in Gardena, California. Isky is about 10 minutes from my house, and I purchase all my cams for my personal as well as client projects from Isky. My custom SyTy cams were based on what KB did, but I changed some things around. Mostly pushed the lobe centers apart for emissions and drivability, and shortened the exhaust duration. But I started with a KB grind. My contacts at Isky showed me what KB used, and I went from there.

Nice to know this Dave i thought Kenne Bell had Comp cams
regrinds but Isky is a well known company with experience .
