[Fot] Cam, etc...

Sun Jan 15 11:16:10 MST 2023

Greetings friends!
This may be of some interest for those looking for an edge in their racing program. I have been researching and designing my own cam for 30 years and even wrote my own cam design program to no avail. I have been using this program for the last 4 years and now its available to the public so cheap its disturbing considering the thousands of dollars I have spent on software and blowing through close to 50 trial and error cams, 30 of them where on new cam blanks.
This program has taken my engines to another level and will give you all the info you need for designing new engines or working with the parts you have but the best part is it will give you an s96 file to send to the cam grinder or you can make a master for a manual cam grinder. The s96 lob design is yours, you own it and is not what the expert on the other end of the phone thinks you should have.
Its all math and no guesswork. Cam companies have giant data bases for common motors and can get pretty close based on dyno data collected over 6-7 decades. For anything other than Ford and Chevy we are pretty much on our own.
Normally I would not share this kind of info but Rick Jones and I have become friends over the years and I just want to help him out, there is nothing in this for me. Below is the link to the software and it is stupid cheap at the moment, I expect the price to increase shortly, its worth 5 times what its going for today.
I never enter into the cam conversations because even the best cam designers and companies can't say with 100% certainty "this is exactly correct for you" so I refuse to get into a pissing contest with internet experts and boy there is a lot of them out there.
This software will revolutionize cam design and the cam companies will most likely loose there minds when we show up at PRI this year. Rick and I will be sharing a booth with my steel synchro's and his software. 
If the software is to much money or over your head, no worries I would be glad to design a cam for a fee of course. ;-)

  I'd think that cam would be too much for a street engine. I designed a more street friendly one with 270 degrees duration (226 at 0.050) and 0.320 lift. A few guys bought them. Unfortunately, they were done CNC, so I never had a master made. I'd gladly share the numbers if someone wanted to make one. I think the stock TR4 cams are very good for a street motor.

 I love my motor. Larry Young cam on new blank, 87 wiseco pistons, 12.5:1 compression. But this is clearly not in a road car.  But thinking about it, with a heavier flywheel in it, might not be terrible on the road other than fuel costs. Lower the compression a bit and use pump gas maybe marginally ok on street.

Well gonna have to rebuild the engine in my TR3 (this was Bob Schaller’s car). 

Cylinder #1 120, #2 40, #3 110, #4 125

Getting oil pushed out the dip stick so certainly seems like rings.

The car used to have a sticker on one of the fenders inside the engine bay that read Isky so guessing that is the brand of Cam that is in it.  We’ll see when the engine gets broken down to confirm and see which one.  Is there a Cam that the hive mind of FOT would recommend for a Road Car that would be preferred.  The current Cam gives the motor a nice sound but as long as we’re there it makes sense to go “better” too.

Also what Pistons would you recommend?  Pretty sure the car is currently 87mm
