'91 they were still across the parking lot from Comp Cams and I think Ivars Smeltnicks was still running it. His brother Russ was at Comp and they both were involved in the start up of the NMCA. Machine shop was really nice,we got a tour of both one Memphis event.

Since they used Comp Cams stuff maybe a "Magnum" cam as the 270,280, 290 Magnums were their best sellers back then. There were no good forged rods for reasonable price back then so probably cast, unless they used Crower or Carillos. Or maybe the heat treated early forged rods Butler also used.
