I would call Bullet, they really have been very helpful. They asked a bunch of questions, intended use, weight, gear, trans, stall, what type and ratio rockers and many more and they got me a really good cam. I now buy most all of my cams from them except the SBC SB-2 cams as they do not have the cam cores I needed for that particular cam.

Another large big name company I called they asked me "Big block or Small block? Dirt or Drag? Here is cam you need." They did not know or care if I was entry level bracket racing or comp eliminator all out class racing. Hard pass.

Another large name cam company will NEVER answer phone.

Cams and Converters on our race cars is critical and in my opinion Bullet cams and Hughes converters are top of the line. They ask a lot of questions and are able to get you the one that best fits for needs.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I've been using Custom Cams for many years.
Tommy Kirk is very knowledgeable and thorough, I have probably bought at least a dozen solid rollers from him and never had a problem with his design and work. Give him a call and discuss your build. 662 534-4881

As racer DLR posted above, I also use Custom Cams. DLR posted the number in his comment. They work great, and as a bonus, they crackle at idle, which lets you know it means business.
