I think the point that Christian makes is that you can't wander into Newman and ask for a cam to fit a CVH with this CR, such and such a turbo, these lifters etc.
They make cams, and don't spec engines.
they dont just make them they customize them which would make it a custom cam to customers specification
So I can walk into Newman, and tell them I want a cam for my cossie. I tell them the bore, the stroke, the CR, the turbo, the rev ceiling etc, and they will be able to
spec the best cam for the application?
Surely then they just make a cam as instructed?
FFS, if a cam is ground from a blank to the spec given by someone else, then it's a custom cam. If it's reprofiled, it's also custom.
What is important is YOU as a member of the public cannot give the cam manufacturer a spec and expect THEM to find the cam to suit YOU.
If that was the case, then they'd have to have a ridiculous in-depth knowledge of every car on the planet.
