It depends on each application. In some applications an older profile may be better then a newer profile.
That's why we custom design each cam, per application.

We make H-D V-Rod cams, but those aren't really Harley engines.

I've asked you for Harley Big twin cams before and had to settle for that four letter word brand. Just not worth it for a custom cam maker?

The H-D market is got a lot of players that have things locked up in it, and the cost to make my own cam cores and gears is too much for the amount I would sell.

Are you really going to make us wait a week to access your website?

The thing was ancient for how long and now you're teasing us?

I built the last one, and that's why it was ancient.
I have a company building this one, and they're supposed to have it ready for the PRI tradeshow.

Hopefully you have something new to buy too.

My old Jones cam is just yesterday's news.

I'm looking for the same drivability with more power everywhere. Start grinding!

I wanted to do something a bit different with my 565 build for my altered. I got very frustrated when talking to several cam grinders because they all told me it wouldn’t work, and I should go another direction. When I called Mike he listened, said he understood what I was trying to do but thought I was a bit over center, and made a couple of suggestions for a compromise. The way he did it was perfect, didn’t try to bull doze me, but gave me the reasons for adjusting my thoughts and they all made sense. Long story short, he ground me the cam, I had a special converter built to go with what I was trying to do with the motor and everything came out just the way I wanted to set up and run the car. I owe a lot of the success to Mike’s cam.

PM me the Invoice number, and I'll see if I can find one of my Euro-customers to buy it from you.
Hi mike,

I need to speak to you about this cam profile R74406, can you please PM me. I would like more details please on this cam profile and how would you expect my engine to proform. I'm going to fit your cam as my engine needs a total rebuild due to a dropped intake valve.


Thanks.

We put a new custom grind from Mike on our dyno. It make 906hp less than the old Comp cam.

We called Mike to ask what went wrong.


He told us we had to install it in the engine first.


Well, after that, we were up 22 peak hp on a 491" RO3.

With good reviews here and in person...I need a Jones cam. I hate this new comp grind I got.
I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension.

Ah, shades of that old "My Boomerang Won't Come Back" song: "Well, first you have to throw it!" :lol:
