Cams... who's actually done em? 5 Years, 9 Months ago  
Anyone gotten the Looney flat tappet cam regrinds done? If so, can you post the cam specs? Would these cams have too much overlap for the factory lower compression? If ya have em, any way you can get a vid and post your current setup (carb, timing, stock or HC/Big Bore, etc)?

Thanks!

Hmmmm Well that's good to know. Can he do custom duration/ICL/LSA combos as well? Thinking about having my heads flowed and ported by the guy who does all my SBC/BBC motors, keeping the velocity the same, of course I'd like to have one spec'd to the flow of the head vs an off the shelf grind.

I am about to send him some 1700 cams to grind for my 1600... I do know that he has a guy that does all that work for him... I dont know about a custom cam such as what you are asking, but it doesnt hurt to ask... cyberchef is good people to deal with and he is good with communication and service... give him a shout...

Sounds like a plan! I'm going to get the cosmetic aspect done for now, and once that's finished, then I may tear into her 38k miles on her, so once I'm done, it'll be time to freshen the top end up a little bit
