i was offered the same cam as hes got,why would they offer me the same cam with promises of gains bhp wise.
That in itself is a narrow-minded answer. I suggested that NEWMAN only offer ONE cam. That is a fact. They do. Phone them yourself. If someone else is designing a Cam Profile and getting Newman to make it, then thats different. Piper and Kent will do exactly the same, infact they will copy each others cams too, to a certain extent. But Newman certainly DO NOT offer several cams. Prove me wrong, list the part numbers.
Alan (AVA) is VERY knowledgable, I have had several conversations with him and I totally believe that he is capable of spec'ing a Cam, but it was always referred to as "If you want a Custom Cam, then speak to Newman". I did just that and he very openly admitted that he can't help. He also admitted that he is having alot of problems with his Solid Lifters.
Other than that, of all the people I have spoken to in the last few weeks, I think Karl is the only other one that I am confident he could Spec a cam.
