Comp Cams....Are They Any Good?
Have been reading up on cams and ran across Comp Cams. Don't seem to remember hearing much about them on this forum. Perhaps it's just me. In any case, what experience have any of you had with this cam? How does it compare to the others we hear a lot about? Appreciate the help and thanks.

Re: Comp Cams....Are They Any Good? (C54FUN)
I haven't put anything in the Vette yet, so I can't comment on their LS1 cams, but I've used their products in other applications without any problems. In fact, they appeared to be exactly what they were advertised.
As far as durability goes; if they can withstand my little brother's abuse for the last seven years, then they will be just fine with "normal" people.

I put a custom grind (my specs) Comp Cams cam (dubbed the "Trooper Cam" on LS1.com) in my 1999 Camaro SS and couldn't have been happier with it. It's a great A4 cam. Not too big, minimal idle problems, with very level power across the entire upper rpm range.
As stated above, they've been around a LONG time and have an excellent reputation.

Many of the offererings from vendors like MTI etc, are actually comp cam custom grinds.
Comp Cams has been, and is one of the top cam manufactuers there is.

MTI B1 and T1 are Comp Cams!
Did this change recently? They were Lunati grinds. The C1 cam is a Comp Cam though.
