This cam is looking pretty good, I was thinking of a mild 95" build this winter and getting rid of the 203's and tensioners, I have 22,000 miles on those and getting a little worried, could this be used in a mild budget build with good results?

Can't wait to see the graph of the 107 kit with this cam. A sensible build with big numbers is just what I'm looking for.

Yes it would work fine. The little cam really packs a punch , as I said we are very pleased with the power and tq this cam has to offer. The HQ34 is another good cam with the 26 at the rear of the pack. The thing with cams and dyno sheets is that many times I see the sheets and you can use math to figure out if they are a true honest sheet and most time the info that is there does not add up to what the numbers are showing. So most times the engine has more compression than stated. Not that is is a bad thing but you need to try and keep things simple when comparing cams. As well our heads are state of the art CNC porting. I could bore you with pages of tech info on comparing how many say CNC is as good as they hand port. The problem is that there are too many shops that own CNC machines but there programing is incorrect, and our there port probing is done wrong or is inaccurate. They think they are doing it right,,,,upon testing other shops CNC heads here is what we found.The heads cost 1100 and they varied 28CFM from front to rear and had poor velocity, as well the port was cut over .040 off center. Now I do not think that the shop did it to mess the customer up, more so they are not willing to spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars to have the correct machine, create the software then retro fit the machine to use the software, create custom tooling, and then start to create the correct porting program from there. Then you work on a data base of programs to get the correct result in the end.

If you buy a set of our heads then you swap something else into the engine ans say I need 30 more cfm to get what I want as a final power level it is very simple. Heads gets probed and in one or two cuts the head will flow the number you asked for. This is the type of porting that we offer. SO where this started is the comparison of dynos sheets with cams. Sorry for the long winded post.

The R&R 525 cam has me very interested...............I'm curious how it would compare to the HQ-0034 cams I currently have in my build.

What's a pair of these cams cost?

Do they work with all the normal gears, bearings..............just a bolt-in replacement for my current gear drive cams?

Steve
Just checking for answers for my questions.

Hey, that dyno sheet looks mighty familiar![8D]

If ya'll have any questions about the actual riding of this particular build just ask away. I love to talk about it. For technical questions you already know that Steve's the man.

Thanks again, Steve!

Is this a bolt in cam with 06 heads and does it work with 9.5 to 1 compression. steve would this cam work with the heads you just did for me? The budget heads. 83.2 chambers etc.

Well we got some numbers back on the 107 kit the tq curve is nothing short of amazing 105 tq at 2000 and 124 at 3200 so that is very nice. The exhuast is killing the hp numbers and we may also have to go to a larger injector to bring the engine up to it's full power level. Once I have a final sheet I will post it up. So far so good.
