Im putting a performance package together with a retailer, they said they'd give me a discount if i bought all the parts from them, and want to sell me some of their custom ground cams.. Ive heard alot of good about Hi-Tech cams, and some bad about Comp cams. Im assuming custom ground means they grind the cams themselves... but that doesnt tell me much. I get the basics of how cams work, controlling the inlet and exhaust valves and how that relates to torque and horsepower, but only from reading. Are custom ground cams something i should be weary about? should i opt to leave out the cams and just get Hi-Techs from some one else? I just dont know specifics about how the brand names and such relate to the cams....

Thanks for any input.

watch out alot of shop say they are custom grinds but they could be just an off the shelf cam..lol... when you get them.. call comp and everybody and tell them the number thats on it and see if it pulls up..lol.. might turn out to be just some comp 270s or something lol

You want a custom grid cam so you can make sure it will work the best for the mods you have. Happens, that HiTech stage 2s are basically a custom grind for alot of the standard bolton cars. They are built for stock motor, stock heads, longtubes and regular boltons. If the shop knows what they are doing, custom grinds are better.
