I like Comp Cams the magnum ones

Just out of plain old curiosity, on what do you base your preference for Comp Cams? If you've used quite a few of them, does the Magnum series work best for you? What motors have you used them in?

Who makes the best all around cam??

Who really knows?? Years ago I used the off the road Z28 cam from Chevrolet. Then switched to Crane. When I went up to Late Model I started using Special Grind Comp Cams and for my own personal use have been using Comp ever since. Is it better than anyone else's? I dont have a clue. There are cam companies out there, names like Herbert, Howard,Elgin,SSI, Wolverine and others that make good cams and most times they are a lot cheaper.We are not paying their big advertising budget.Unless we compare several different cams in our particular application we really dont know which one works the best. It would be interesting to see if we took the same vehicle and used 5 different cams by 5 different manufacturers and used their recomended cam,what the results would be.Lets say Isky won my test. Then, lets say, Your application was simular but a little different. In your case Isky might come in 3rd. and the cam that cam in 5th in my case was 1st in your case. Go Figure!
