For all you know, you could be buying a cam exactly like you have already.
Not from ECS. Thats whats nice about being able to trust your vendors and tuners. I personally know all of these guys and see what goes into their R & D for these products. They go through hell to find combinations that work.
Thats kinda like buying heads without flow numbers, hey trust me, they flow good
yeah then the guys take the cam specs and have comp cams grind it for them for only 200 bucks. thats why tuners dont give away cam specs... to avoid immitators and other tuner shops that will just copy them and sell them for less.
Ditto

Hmm, yeah some people need to compute things like SCR and DCR too when they are building a motor.
It makes power, but I cant buy something without knowing what it is sorry. Marketing is key in this world .

Please tell me who at Comp charges $200-I'll buy a dozen cams off him right now!

I have a friend that has specialized in the LSx engines since they came out. Early on, he had a head company charging around 2200 bucks for a set of heads. In the pursuit of comparable power for less money, he took one head to 2 head porters and told them to match the port work, valve jobs and flow #'s. They both matched everything and on the dyno the expensive heads still made 30 more rwhp. Can't explain it. Saying " trust me" with a highly regarded tuner / performance shop is no issue with me. If I trust them, I don't care what the heads flow as long as it gets the desired result.
