So my overwhelming arrogance is why you stopped helping me years ago? Did you forget that you sold me a camshaft this year?
Does this look like I have overwhelming arrogance to anyone else out there?

Subject: Need recommendation and price.....
Mike, hope you're staying busy and doing well.
I have a 434 inch Clevor that I built for a drag race customer. He
doesn't have the car sorted out entirely yet but has already made plans
to spray for next year and wants to get parts here for when it comes
back for a freshen-up this fall.
Current camshaft is a custom Comp piece, 261/273 @ .050", 112 LSA on a
110, .471"/.471" lobe lift, running 1.8 T&D race rockers.
On the dyno here, it made 777 hp @ 7000, 630 lb-ft @ 5500.
*4.155 x 4.000, with a 6" rod
*55mm on all 5 journals, roller cam bearings
*.904" lifter bores
*Heads are CHI 3V heads, about 245cc intake port volume. 2.250"
intake/1.710" exhaust.
*Intake flow is: 212 @ .300, 276 @ .400, 320 @ .500, 347 @ .600, 373 @
.700, 384 @ .800, 391 @ .900
*Exhaust flow is: 160 @ .300, 199 @ .400, 225 @ .500, 245 @ .600, 256 @
.700, 265 @ .800, 275 @ .900
*Compression ratio is 13.5:1
*Intake is a CHI 3V 225 cc intake, ported, with a 2" Super Sucker 4150
to 4500 adapter, with a 1100 cfm Dominator
*It is a vacuum pump motor
*Running a Powerglide with a 1.58 1st gear and a 5500 stall.
*Vehicle weighs 3000 lbs with driver ('69 Mustang)
*Running VP C12 fuel
*Headers are 2.125" diameter
*Running 1.550 Manley Nextek springs, 300 seat with 800 open.
Here's what we are going to change and what we'll need another camshaft for:
*Going from 13.5:1 to 14.5:1
*Adding 400 hp worth of spray
*Changing intake from current to a CHI 3V intake, ported, but with a
4500 flange. No adapter spacer.
I bought an additional camshaft last year when I built the engine to try
on the dyno, but with it making almost 780 hp, we decided to not try
it. His previous engine was a 575 hp 408C and with an all new
chassis/suspension, we weren't looking to optimize the combo. The cam
I have on the shelf is a custom with Comp HXL lobes, 272/280 @ .050",
with .800" gross lift, on a 108 LSA.
Thanks for your help.
