Re: John L's cam post

RE:
I thought about going to Delta Camshaft in Tacoma, WA to have a cam custom
ground, but I was worried about ultimately getting a cam that was inferior
(for my needs) over the stock cam in that it might push up the torque curve in
the rpm band.  Even if I were to be able to convince them to make a cam
exactly like I wanted, I probably would have wound up with a cam just like the
factory cam, but at a premium price.  Why bother? 

REPLY:
John your remarks about Delta are wrong. I got my cam there and it was the
same cost as the original gring. I got a 252 RV GRIND witch is one step up
from stock. I asked the price difference and there was none. The stock was
the same price, so as for being expensive (premium price) they were not. I
have used a Delta camshalft for my 450 hp(approx) 440 thats for my 1969
Dodge Charger S.E. and my 1979 Scout Travler with the 235(approx) hp345 and
am quite happy only paying in the range of $60-$80 for each one. 

Just thought i would let the digest and you know from a buyers and
satisfied customer point of view.
