    had a long conversation with geoff at engine power systems today about specing cams...I really dont see why everyone is bashing on pat g?? Maybe he does spec cams that are similar to proven off the shelf cams but if they are proven to work in certain situations then why change it?? Also who's to say that comp, or someone else didnt get the specs for their off the shelf cam from someone like pat g or geoff? Goeff said he sat down and specd a wild cam for a 454 lsx motor and not too long after he was looking in the comp catolog and there was an off the shelf comp cam with the same specs!! Not every single set up will require some off the wall custom cam specs...some set ups may benefit the most from an off the shelf cam. While on the other hand some may benefit more from a custom specd cam... And when these guys spec a cam they arent gonna hit the nail on the head with it everytime, as they are only human. We need to give them some margin for error... Pat G specd a cam for my N/A set up im running now and i had geoff look at the specs and he said he didnt see a dam thing wrong with it, that it should work great with my set up and he wouldnt change a thing about it......So there is my .02 about the subject on pat g custom specd cams

    heres the reason.....why pay someone 25-40 dollars just so they can pull a cam off the shelf and say they actually spec'd it when actually it was an OTS cam...so hes not charged with fraud he changes a degree or two and calls it custom
