They offer:

 

 

Our most popular grind for Triple Carb use is .510 lift and 302 duration

on 106 Lobe Center....

 

Anyone use this with their triple carbs and/or their 3.1L setup? thoughts?

 

I have been trying to talk to Jim at sunbelt for weeks now, but hes a bit busy with the demands of starting race seasons, so I don't know what cam grinds he offers.

 

Thanks for the help...

If you're referring to the lack of customer service, I would imagine that a camshaft is a pretty safe bet. Just don't expect TEP to set it up for you over the phone.

 

I think that is the cam I've been looking for all these years (specs look good). Gotta file this away and start saving...

TEP?

Be afraid, Be very afraid.

I'm one of those who bought a TEP turbo cam that was totally wrong for a turbo appication. Can't say that his na grinds are similarly wrong, but I bet you'll find better stuff and much better 'tude at the more established cam grinders.

Iskendarian, Webcam, Elgin are among many who do a good job on L Motor cams.

Yeah, I agree Jon, that grind was what I was looking for, but now....

 

...thanks for the warnings guys. I will heed...

 

that isky cam looks great but i think itll be a bit too much lift and will hit my pistons without valve reliefs...closer to .500 is what i seem to understand as being safe. anyone have experience here?

 

Anyone know what sunbelt has in that neighborhood of grinds? (or others)

 

thanks again...

I ordered one from Competition Cams... locally here at Doug Herberts shop... (amazed that he carried a part for an import) :D

 

Not sure what the grind was exactly... I have the grind card around here somewhere.... It worked very good on my N/A setup..
