[DeTomaso] Comp Cams Kit with custom grind

[Thomas Borcich]

I spoke to the Comp Cams about getting a custom grind and was told there is 
an additional fee because they have to change to a different core...the cost 
is about $53 more. Not huge but there's more...turns out their custom grinds are 
only done from the "lobe design patterns" they have in their system, which are 
plentiful. You can change the LSA but have to use one of their "existing lobes", 
and you can still get all the pieces in their kits. Looks like you can come pretty 
close to Dan's preferred specs, but not sure 
how close the ramp profiles match up.

Summit has the best price for the kits about $30 less than Comp Cams price...
Comp Cams won't match the Summit price. When ordering from Summit or Comp Cams 
you have to give a core number (32-000-5 for a Cleveland), then give the lobe grind #. 
You also want to make sure that you order a cam kit that has similar lift #'s as the 
custom lobe lift...so that you don't order a kit that has weaker springs and try to 
install them with a substantially larger lift cam that needs higher seat pressures.

It may be easier in the long run to order #535-TM280HR-284HR-107A from Reed Cams and source 
all the parts separately. At least you know your getting a cam that works.
