Hey Dale,
. The point is that we have several cams for all types of engine sizes and types of NA and FI, we ask the mods-use-etc etc and give the appropriate cam, so I would have quit a list of cam profiles to list.
We do not release the specs because it's years of our hard work to give you what works best, without it being a hypothesis.

Doug, Wrong. I spoke to chris and asked him as they have only 1 cam for N/A and 1 Cam for blower application he said yes except C6 LS3 N/A is different than C5 N/A cam, i doubt on ur cams bcos everytime i hear the sound clip of ur cam, it sounds different.
why so different statement from u and chris.

When was the last time you EVER knew of a husband and wife agreeing??
Must have been some sort of misunderstanding or miscommunication. Its not like they have anything to loose/gain from it.
Plus, you can change the way the car sounds by moving the idle up/down. That means squat...

I can only speak for myself..... I found that the research wasn`t that difficult, calls to the head manuf and or porter and the cam company along with a consult with my chosen shop resulted in a cam ground specific to MY heads, blower/boost, trans/gears and intended use...
How many cam companies have actually put a bunch of different cams in many different versions of a Novi Corvette, and run them down the strip? Or driven these Corvettes around for prolonged periods to check for driveability and long-term reliability? Or gone through an emissions test?
If I wanted a TTi turbo cam for instance, I'd go to George or Doctor Phil. Who cares if they tell me the specs? Who cares if it costs $100 more? If they've tried 20 different cams, and found something that makes just 10 more horsepower, it's a bargain. Don't people spend $1500 on headers for just 40 more horsepower?

I think it's a little silly to think that one can "research" cams, and come up with something that works as well as a cam from someone who has researched and tried a whole bunch of different cams. If you have enough time and money, you could duplicate their experiments. Or you can save all the money and grief and just buy from them. Info from cam manufacturers is just an educated(?) guess. Talk to two different reps from the same cam company and you'll probably get two different recommendations. Maybe even from the same rep on two different days.

All I know is the following....
I took my car to the dyno in BG and on low boost and no meth I broke the 600rwhp mark on a stingy dyno. The owner of the shop had a car in there that had tested 6 or 7 cams in his car and couldnt make power. I gave him ECS' number and told them to order the blower cam. In the words of Emeril... BAM! 76RWHP
I put meth on my car and at 6k and 9psi it makes 641RWHP
I purchased this cam for a 1998 Corvette in expectance of a Magnuson. For giggles I took it to the dyno.. The car had Dart Heads with a little combustion chamber work, again for the magnuson, a fast 90, and TS headers. 400RWHP
The proof is in the pudding... If you have to know the specs that bad get a micrometer out and start measuring. At least you can get the lift specs. All I know is the cam drives awesome, makes power, gets good gas mileage, and the people who sold it to me have never refused to help me on any of my projects.
Some of these comments amaze me, I honestly dont see how you can say ANYTHING bad about ECS or the parts they produce. Myself I love the secret cam... It has saved me numerous conversations on cams... I just say "man I couldnt tell ya"

Love the hating on naming a cam
Always interesting to see folks hating on simple BRANDING. So we brand our cams with names - so what? Does that make them ineffectual because of it? They are Comp Cams - not voodoo...
Personally, I like names versus "Stage 1" or "Level 3" or whatever. But that's just me.... and just a little over 100 other customers, it seems.
For me, it's always a good sign when I see our older design cams being sold second-hand and the seller buying our newer cams - as has happened several times.
Likewise, I am always pleased to see the timeslips, numbers and results from our cams on customers from all over the world.
But even though we have our own line of blower friendly cams, we ALWAYS recommend to our customers to get the ECS blower cams if they are looking for maximum FI power and stock like idle and street manners.
Doug and Chris have many mid 9 second Vettes running their cams - and that's good enough for us.
