cam opinons

FM Former Member
I just checked the cam spec's on my new engine and it has a 276--420 cam in it and they put 1.1to 1 rockers on it to help tame it.

Here we go with someone pushing there spare parts again
And I am gearing up for a full blown law sueit.

That is Not the cheater cam I ordered. These people at Strickly Foreign have realy got me mad. Now I have to make a very hard discision.

The Vestals have been in busness sence 1972 and Stricky Foreign only 20. And I do trust their proven record.

The Vestals advise to split the case while its not broke in yeat , and swap the cams out and MAKE this engine More like the Mileage motor it was soppose to be like .

IT has less than 2 hrs run on it. and Even with the timing retarded 20 degree Gobs of Horsepower.But Im certain even with the fan shroud mods the high compresson would surely kill it in time.

The lawer said I had a real good case and he will look into it futher.

But Here my main main question If i decide to change the cam and not go with the ceaer cam spec's

What would you recemend as another GOOD mild street cam for a 85.5 x 74 engine?

I camn live with this cam , its not realy that wild but it will hurt mileage. and does lope a little after the engine is hot.

Where can you hire a lawyer to prosecute any case, who will bill you less than the entire cost of an engine built exactly to your specifications at CB Performance or SCAT?

I may be jaded by the make-up of the lawyer business in Lost Angeles, but I know if I went to any lawyer around here and he or she said, "so what do you estimate your damages to be?" and I said $2,500 they would throw me out of their office.

Around here a lawyer's retainer could buy three engines, and that fee generally only covers filing the case!

First off lawyers on he east coast arn't that crazy or greddy.

Second Ive already spoke to Mr Cooper At the Nc state Atorney Generals office. Interstate comerce fraud is picked up the state in NC . Every state is different but He is looking into it and i have areadty sumitted a afidada. on this matter Directly to him AND HE IS the STATE ATTORNY GENERAL. When I play Its for keeps!

I may only get a judgement . But Stricky will get alot a trouble for there mess.

Larry !!

Please check your spec.s and find the Lift and Duration so I can compare. I don't know anything about bug cams Now a Chevy Watch out.

I do beleive the cheater is split duration so I will check that as well.

I even concidered the WEB 86a, But knowing Jake taste for power. and thats one of his custom grinds I'd bet that is also to much.

I wish he would recemend a good mild cam.... But That aint gonna happen!

It does Have the 6110 ENGLE can now, BUT

Larry I wanted a((( EAGLE CAM ))) not a ENGLE cam

The Eagle Cheater cam pn #2280

Adv. Duration 274*/Duration AT .050 is 222*

Lift AT cam 359/or with 1.1.1 rockers is 394.

This is what was put in the Hot vw Mileage motor

and they did use the 1.1.1 rockers..

In the October article it was gettin 38.4 miles per gal. with 87 octane. it is a gas milage cam.

And this is what IM Putting back in it! The only question I have left a new set of bearings that will be kryoed YEAT again If they ever were or Risk the bearings that are in it to be Kryoed as they ever were .. Nothing else was right. theres that answer.

I may as well check the balance of the pistons and rods and do it all over again to be sure its the way it was supose to be.

Im looking for a 1,000 doller reinbursment out Mr Mark Wolter. NOT counting the carb refund.

My time counts also as does the parts I have to refresh.

Im telling you it cost $3500,oo plus $350.oo s+h Shipping was pitifuly shipped .

It came in on a pallot unstrapped wrapeg in suran wrap and it did have miner air filter and dizzy damage.

It was suppose to be 8,25 to 1 (NOT) It was supose to have a cheater Cam (NOT) The rods Were suppose to be clearanced H Beam race
(NOT). and the 40 carbs are way way to big.

Stay away from Strickly Foreign. This is the kind a poop that p off people into mailing pipe bombs

I was waitng for you to Chime in.

And this is what I would expect from you. AND you dont want me to answer that one!!!

As I recall I was the one to give you the idea of the 4 cammer shroud back in 2002 when we spoke . At the time when you tried to balance a t-3 tourqe converter for me. I asked you then was their such a animal being made And you said no. I am please that your doing them. But you should give me my Dues as well. for inspiring you.

I still have a part you need its a oil cooler adapter Thats a bolt on for the up right t-4 It,s all billit and uses the stock cooler and you may NEVER see it.It's already on file at the PTO in Arlington WV.

FM Former Member
If I see one being made .I will reportit to the PTO.
Im not looking for anything on the shrouds They are to badly needed for the t-1s But I do feel betrayed when I trusted you. with that info, and you didn't even thank me. But you flatly ignored the oil cooler adapter when I tried to sugest it to you so thats your loss.
I never do anything with it but I will keep the submission current just to spite you.
