Be careful here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Elgin has been desiging/grinding cams and running his engine dyno longer than Jake has been alive. Elgin also TEACHES at night. Less than 10 feet from the main office is one of the TOP head porters in all of NorCal (Michael Stimpson) His grinds are products of 30 years of development. HPH has used nothing but Elgin in his race cars and street cars. The Orginal "Foley" header was built and tested at Elgins on Bontempi built injected 2.0's. The Garretson IMSA 914's?? Elgin cams. Bontempi will tell you right now that he has had NO cam failures with Elgin cams and Elgin reground lifters. I used to deliver lifters to Elgin, boxes and boxes at a time. He would always send me back with "junk" lifters that appeared fine to me, but didnt meet a certain requirement he had prior to "reground" (he does build engines FYI) just doesnt do 4cyl's any more. Anyone here ever see Steve Nieslony's 914 run a AutoX event? Elgin Cam/Lifters/Pete Weber header....on Carbs.. 2.0 B |
