anyone built a 2.0L with D-jet using one of these cams?

Like the results?

Hated it?

Nobody else, not even the gam grinders stepped up to figure out the cam and lifter problem we had the year before.


Nope, not a damn one. They all made the test work more difficult to do by not giving us any discounts on products.

It took 18 months and 20K bucks to figure out the issues, 12K of that money came out of my pocket and required this device to be built for accurate testing purposes .

If you think any cam grinder that grinds Type 4 cams has one of these you are sadly mistakened.. This device gave us the capability to run lifters with radically different approaces on lobs specially ground to compliment them. With this device I solved our problems.

hey well written above. good points all. i know how it goes about being proud of something you made, so i cant fault you for that. plus, from all of the people recommending yours that speaks for itself i'd say. i can understand where your coming from and as you said better to be yourself.
