Pontiac V-8 Roller Cams
Custom made Roller Cams to your specs and available in ANY configuration. We can also design a cam for you. Profiles may include, but are not limited to RA V’s, Nitrous cams with wide lobe separations, 4 cylinder, and altered firing order applications. Cams are available with an oversize journal. (1.970” vs. stock 1.900”) to utilize needle roller bearings in the cam tunnel and replace the factory friction bearings Oversize cam journals have several advantages including, smoother transition profiles, ease of installation for large lobes, and less friction. Cams can also be supplied with stock size journals and the factory bearings can be used. Cam tunnel must be bored to install needle bearings. All machining dimensions are included. Cams available with lobes roughed or finished.

Just a question. Why would someone pay $550 for a roller cam from you when you could get one ground or a in stock one from say Comp for $350? And no, I have not asked about a specific price for a custom ground roller cam. But you think it would cost an extra $200 to have a company custom grind a roller cam?

Usually a cam company will grind you any one you want for a nominal fee. Not a critisism. You guys make some SUPERIOR products.

Also, are these cams hyd or solid rollers?

Just trying to weigh my options when I do in fact buy a roller for my EFI E-head 455. Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Comp Cams charges around $700 for a roller cam made by hand to your specifications. (not one of their off the shelf cnc lobe patterns)

I had a custom Supercharger cam ground for Jimmy Keen's motor the year he won the Hot Rod World Championship in Super Street. It cost $650.00
and I was a WD. I paid more because they had to
create a round cam for a 347 cid Ford. In Wade's
case he has already done that for us Pontiac Guys!
I will have one of his cams someday. Tom V.

Thanks for the input guys. The other issue is the oversized needle bearing. In the past to run needles you had to go to 1.875 making the journal smaller by grinding a stock core. By going larger 1.970 you get the advantage of ease of install with high lifts, and bigger lobes which can translate into better ramp transitions. You can't do this or unique profiles with the standard cores that are available.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I e-mailed comp with specs for a non roller cam i wanted custom ground about a year ago, they first tried to find me a grind that "would be close" with what they had lobes for. and then told me that it would cost $498 for each lobe to be made and then $118 for the cam to be made but i could have all the cams i wanted for $118 each after that. so $1114 for a cam! they may have just been tring to sway me from doing it or that is what they charge! anyhow BOP's cams look like the way i would want to go, even if the price is just as high, being pontiac people they might have better idea's on what works!
thanks bop for being there for us, and the rear main seals for 400's were a god sent! and work real well on daily driven beasts!
