SBC Cam Challenge Winners And Who Is Going To Have Fun With Boost

インデックス作成: 2026-05-21

[00:00:13]Hey guys, this is Eric Wearner with Wine Gun Racing. Today's video is the review of the small block Chevy cam challenge.

[00:00:21]Here you're going to get all the results. I'll talk about who won also also who won at the uh drawing and also the cam that we use for power outer stuff. So, all that's in this video. I will say I'm going to do some follow-up videos because if I was to make it really in-depth on this one, this video would be way too long. Let's face it, no one would watch it and I would have wasted my time. So, I'll break them up into different um videos so you can get a more ind depth on some of the stuff.

[00:00:49]For instance, maybe all the Summit cams will be one video. All the comp cams will be one video, and so on and so forth. But anyway, let's talk about the engine itself. We'll talk about how the competition went, the bad news, good news, and everything that goes with it.

[00:01:02]So, this engine was a small block Chevy.

[00:01:04]It's a 421. It uses the Summit cast iron block. This thing was a nice piece. No complaints for me whatsoever. The crankshaft was a Scat 4340 forge crankshaft, but it's a it's got 3.87 has a big block snout. The idea was we're going to run a supercharger with it, but if you uh know anything with it, we didn't get to run we did run it with it, but not with all the cams, which we'll talk about in this video. So, hence the big block snout just to keep things from breaking off, although it probably wouldn't have happened anyway.

[00:01:38]The rod was a scat rod, too. Was one of their power adder rods. 4340 forge rod, ARP 2000 C.

[00:01:46]The pistons is probably one of the things I think was probably one of the cooler things to me. This was a Racetech piston, but this piston's phenomenal.

[00:01:54]It's got a really thick skirt on one side, a little bit thinner on the other, full round to make to handle boost. It's got an 043 043 3mimeter ring pack, lateral gas ports, and it's got that CP calls it their CP groove, a little groove that grounds the top. But this thing is phenomenal, and it worked really, really well. It also had a gigantic thick wrist pin, which is great for power adders, which we had planned to run. The cam challenge ended up being all NA though, which again I'll get to.

[00:02:22]That's the rotating assembly. As far as the bottom side of that, it had a Moroso um aluminum pan that has the cutouts for windage. It's got a kick out in the side. It also helps with windage and it ran a Moroso oil pump as well. The front timing chain cover was a bit different just at Coons because Coons did all the machine work and also assembled the engine. So, thank for the thanks to them for doing that. And also the dyno was there at Coun as well and their brand new dyno, their Superflow Power Mark um dyno. But anyway, um he found this two-piece front cover so that make the cam changes much easier. This sounds easy, but when you've got a big block snout, there's a bunch that are for a small block Chevy snout, not for necessarily for the big block one. He found one and that's what was used there. As far as the cylinder heads, that's of course my stuff. You know, I'm going to use it. It's the Dragon Slayers, my CNC Dragon Slayers, the 4060 spacing ones. This isn't my largest one. I've got like three heads that are larger than this. This is does require shaft rockers and it used the gessel shaft rockers. Um the minimum cross-section is like 2.8 on this one.

[00:03:30]Um again I've got a bigger version but at the time this was the biggest I'd had. Now I've got several different bigger versions. But this one it flows 340 something CFM. It flows like 269 at 400. That's on this bench. If on the Superflow it's way over that. It's about 8 CFM higher. So on the Superflow it's about 350 CFM. Um, it has 516 intake and exhaust stems for the valves. The valves measure a 2125 intake valve and a 1 1600 exhaust valve. The intake port volume is 255 cc's. So, a little bit big, but I don't care. It works great for me. I don't have a problem with that a bit.

[00:04:06]Seems like it works good. Um, the exhaust flows like 250 without an exhaust pipe. I don't know what it flows with exhaust pipe because I don't care.

[00:04:15]Um, as far as the valve train parts, it had a set of BAM solid lifters. And you're like, "Wait a minute. I thought this was a hydraulic lifter contest."

[00:04:24]We'll get to that in a minute. But yeah, I had BAM um solid lifters, which are actually the best hydraulic lifters you can get. Um, they have a 180 offset on the intake and and standard on the exhaust. Do you have to have that to run this particular head of mine? No. You could have ran on center on center because initially what I was trying to do was run these um Doug Herbert makes these spring-loaded ones. If you're a small block Chevy guy, you've seen them forever. They're horizontal tie bar and the idea with it is they're spring-loaded. So when there's load on it, like the push rod pressing down, it presses against the cam lobe and everything works fine. But when you back off the rockers, it would move out of the way so you could pull the cam without having to pull the intake manifold. Downside, the small block Chevy Summit block has a 300 taller lifter bore as does most other aftermarket blocks. So, it wouldn't the lifter, those Doug Herberts wouldn't go down to touch the cam. So, we ended up switching to the BAM. They're DLC coated. Did it have to be? No, but why not, right? A really nice lifter. It's still an 842 diameter, in case you're wondering. The reason for not doing the hydraulic roller is the biggest thing is this. We didn't I didn't want to have to deal with anything with valve float because when it's cam competitions like this, these guys are going to throw some of the most aggressive stuff you could ever imagine. So, why give it worst case scenario with that anyway? But I did tell them it wanted needed to be a hydraulic roller profile because that's how I was going to lash it. Um, the rockers, and this is important part, these are Jessel Pro Series rockers because the long story short, the heads and the rockers, the reason why they even got used is because a customer backed out and I had these. So, I was like, I'll just use all this stuff. It has like a 250 offset on the intake, which is hardly any. Maybe a 300. See, 300. Sorry, I'm probably wrong. It's a 300 offset on the intake. Standard whatever it is on exhaust. However, this is the big part. The intake rocker ratio is 1.8.

[00:06:17]Not 1.5, not 1.6, not even 1.7, 1.8. The exhaust ratio is 1.7. So, that really helped out all that stuff. What valor spring was used on that was the um pack 1255X. It's a beehive spring. Um I've had really really good luck with it and for the most part it was great in the steel. Um again we're using titanium intake and exhaust valves which they don't weigh hardly anything especially with a 516 stem. So that's what was used there. The induction the other part of the induction system was the Holly Hyram. This has only been out for like a year and a half, but I was dying to test it because I thought finally we're going to get a good in man in intake manifold for a small block Chevy for fuel injection. And this is it. So that's the in the intake that was used. I of course ported it to match the heads, not just port match. I also made the the openings cross-sections really small on those. So I made it opened up so that it could be proper for what it should be for this engine. Um the compression ratio, by the way, is 11.44 44 compression ratio. Um, we run we ran the goal was to run it on E85 and during the warm-up and breakin, it was actually on ethanol 1R.

[00:07:29]Unfortunately, we ran out, but we had a lot of X98, which is 98% ethanol, which I didn't mind at first because the way this competition was supposed to run is we were supposed to do an NA pool for everybody and then you do about a 5 lbs of boost with the Torstorm supercharger and then about an 8 to 10 pound boost with this supercharger as well. So, the X98 has that octane of like 120. So, I didn't mind it so much if it hurts the NA power because it gave me more leeway when we were putting boost to it.

[00:08:00]So, I felt more confident about it.

[00:08:01]That's why we ran it with that fuel in the testing and early on. So, when we were breaking it in, we were using the um Coons cam shaft. I will tell you this 100% certain switching from ethanol 1R which is 85 E85 going to X98 the VP stuff we lost about 16 to 17 horsepower like that dead serious on that fuel. So if you're looking at these numbers if we'd stuck with the ethanol 1R we'd be up just for the record. That was the only thing we changed and dropped. So, but anyway, um we did also run ID injectors in case you're wondering what fuel injectors run. ID 1050 injectors.

[00:08:41]Those worked great. Initially, I bought a set of Holl's turds. Don't recommend.

[00:08:46]Also, oddly enough, we used a Holly Dominator. I bought a brand new one and it bricked right out of the box.

[00:08:51]Luckily, Aunt had another Dominator there so we can continue continue testing. That pretty much is the combination. Um ran again on the Power Mark dyno. The idea is it can handle more power than we did boost. For the record, which I won't go too much on the boost stuff, we did make about six or seven pulls with boost. And this with the Coons cam shaft.

[00:09:29]and it made 959 horsepower at five pounds and that was at 6,000 and it went to eight pounds at 68 where we stopped it. Um, which so it made 959. So we were like, "All right, super super." Put on the smaller pulley so that we could get that reading so we could do testing with that. And then it just kept chunking the belt. Nothing on Torx's part. This was a totally different deal than you'd ever be able to order from them anyway. It was just a bunch of mistakes, not necessarily on their part. It was I asked them to do something and they did it and I didn't know I was asking them to do something that would make things bad. So definitely not their fault. But when the belt did stay on, it was it was 950 at at 6,000. So it was on its way to make about 970 980. At only 8 pounds of boost at 8,000, it probably would have been about 12. So and low timing and everything else. We really didn't have a chance to tune all that in. Anyway, enough of the blah blah blah. Now you know all the situation with all that.

[00:10:30]Um, let's talk about the winners and how people did. Okay, so here's your grand winner and how things were scored the way you won. And there's four categories and you could argue this to the death, but if you want to see any of this data, cam cards, dino sheets, there'll be a link in the description for this video where you can donate to the CAM challenge. Now, you can't win anything anymore because the winners have already been announced and you can see them right here. Here we are in the wine gardener kitchen as my wife attempts to make me some food from starving. See that happy face? This is Lydia. This is not my daughter. This is a neighbor kid.

[00:11:03]Uh, do you see all these numbers in here?

[00:11:05]>> Yeah.

[00:11:06]>> Do you know what they're for?

[00:11:08]>> Not a clue. Great. Here's what I want you to do. I'm going to put this lid on it. I'm going to have you shake it up.

[00:11:14]>> Shake it up. Shake it up.

[00:11:16]>> Yeah. Just like that. I did a bad job of getting you in the camera focus on that one. After you shake it up, I want you I'll shake it a little bit first so people don't think I cheated. Um, after you shake it up, I'm gonna have you uh open it up or I'll open it up. I'll let you pick two out.

[00:11:30]>> Okay. Shake it off. Shake it up.

[00:11:35]Okay.

[00:11:36]>> Okay.

[00:11:36]>> Do you want me to open it?

[00:11:38]>> Yeah, cuz I got one hand.

[00:11:40]>> But don't do anything with it.

[00:11:41]>> No, I can't open it. Okay.

[00:11:43]>> Okay. I'm going to hold it here now.

[00:11:46]Grab one out.

[00:11:48]>> All right. I got to make sure I'm grabbing one.

[00:11:50]>> Just one. You got one?

[00:11:52]>> Yeah.

[00:11:52]>> Okay.

[00:11:53]>> What's that number?

[00:11:54]>> Uh 1575.

[00:11:57]>> Okay. That's the cylinder head one, by the way.

[00:12:00]>> Okay.

[00:12:03]>> And this one is Read that one.

[00:12:06]>> 1457.

[00:12:07]>> Okay. I'm going to look at the orders.

[00:12:09]If none of those are from overseas, they want it. So, this one's the heads and that one's the cam. They will understand this. So, I'm going to check the orders and we'll see.

[00:12:19]>> Okay, Lydia, can you tell me before you pick that numbers out, did you know what this was for?

[00:12:26]>> Awesome.

[00:12:27]>> Okay, so you draw out this 1575, right?

[00:12:32]>> Yeah.

[00:12:32]>> Okay. Does that match this order number 1575?

[00:12:36]>> Yeah.

[00:12:37]>> That, by the way, and I'm covered up there's number. That's 1575. He purchased it on August 29th, 2025, 5:32 p.m. He bought two of them. His name is Victor Brown. You won. Now, that's the cylinder head, by the way. So, for the cam shaft, that number is 1457, correct?

[00:12:58]>> Yeah.

[00:12:59]>> This is 1457, correct?

[00:13:01]>> Yeah.

[00:13:01]>> We look at them together. That's Mike Gonzalez. She won the Thumper Cam and you purchased it way back on July 30th of 2025 and you only did one. So, good job.

[00:13:13]>> Can I just say something real quick?

[00:13:14]>> She wants to say something. Go ahead.

[00:13:16]>> Why are you so late on these orders?

[00:13:20]>> This that was back in the 25.

[00:13:22]>> You know, >> we're in the 26. Eric, >> it took a while for the competition to take place, but uh yeah, see the fresh air or even little girls.

[00:13:31]>> Okay, >> you still can get all that data. So, all the data is still available to you. So you can see all the cam cards and dino sheets. But anyway, all that's available. I'll tell you some of the specs in this video anyway and look for them to all be in this later, but probably not as in-depth as what some of you might want to see. So check out the uh description for this video, donate, and then boom, there you go. But the winner and the way that you win is there's four categories. You have peak horsepower and you're ranked one through eight. Well, one through 14 because there's 14 competitors even though we ran 18 cam shafts and you're ranked. So, the person that had the most power would be ranked one. The one that had least would be ranked 14. Then we did the same thing with torque, peak torque, and you're ranked one through 14. Then we did by averages. Whoever had that best average horsepower from 4,000 to 6,500 and they're ranked that way, too. Then we're also averaging torque from 4,000 to 6,500 as well.

[00:14:29]Your goal was to get the lowest rank on each one. So if you were to win every category, you'd be one and your total points would be four because you four categories, first place in each one, you got four. The tricky part is some people will get really good averages, but not so much on the peak. So they might go down a bit, which you might be like, that's not a very good way to score it.

[00:14:50]That's why you can look in the description for this video and get and donate to the Cam Challenge and you can look strictly at their averages and score them that way. The reason why I didn't is because of this. Back in the day, I did Engine Masters Challenge. And I hate beating that dead horse, but they always had it by average horsepower from an RPM range every time. And that's how you won, by your averages. Sounds great.

[00:15:13]Sounds like it's the one that makes the cars go faster. And you're absolutely correct because it does. Here's a problem. In the magazine, they would put your whole engine specs and then they'd say, "This guy is the winner." and they put your whole entire dino sheet and the people would look at it and go, "That guy won and he only made 630 horsepower, but this guy that finished like 19th made 700. How's that possible?" And that's why I put peak power in there because people know average makes you go faster. But people still like the big number. Hence, that's why it's in there.

[00:15:44]Anyway, your winner was Gald Brand. His cam shaft. Here you go. So, you don't have to look at the card. I'm going to tell you, although you still should donate, he had a remember this with the 1.8 rocker ratio. He had a 686 lift on intake and 632 on exhaust, 238 intake duration, and 252 on exhaust. And that's at 50,000.

[00:16:06]Was grounded a 107 degree lobe separation. Daniel Pal the cam shaft for him. That's your winner. He had, just in case you're wondering, well, can you tell us his numbers? I will. He made 700.5 horsepower at 6,500 RPM. His averages, average horsepower was 597.6 horsepower from 4,000 to 6,500. His average torque 597.3 foot-lbs of torque in that same RPM band. Outstanding.

[00:16:44]Terrific job there. So, he won. That was your winner. Second place was not that guy, Chris Almond. Chris Almond finished second. And we'll get to some of the other cams too in this that didn't didn't make the thing. And I'll tell you why in a minute. But Chris Almond, he made peak power of 699.3 horsepower at 6,500 RPM. That's in the scoring range.

[00:17:10]He actually made 702 at 6,700 RPM, but that's outside the scoring range. Um, his peak torque was 618.2 foot-lbs of torque and the average horsepower was 596. His average torque was 595.5.

[00:17:31]Gary Bran beat him by 0.9 horsepower on the average and he was less than him on the torque by half a torque, footpound of torque.

[00:17:42]And his peaks though, he beat him on the peak torque by.7 horse torque. Sorry, it's tor 7 footbs of torque. So yeah. Anyway, that's him.

[00:17:53]His cam, because you're going to ask, it was 718 lift on intake, 678 on exhaust.

[00:18:00]He was a 231 duration on at 50,000s on intake and 255 on exhaust. He also was a 107 lobe separation. Um, I have to say that's probably the most power I've seen on a small block Chevy make it with 231 degrees of duration. So, that was 700 horsepower he made with that 231.

[00:18:22]Outstanding. But again, really, really tight race for those two and just barely got them. In third place, somehow I missed it. There it is. In third place was Randy Malik.

[00:18:40]Randy Malik made 700.1 horsepower and he did it at 6,400 RPM. His peak torque was 613.8 foot-lbs of torque. His averages, so from average from 4,6500 was 591 horsepower and his average torque was 589.8.

[00:19:02]His cam shaft was a 244 254 at 50,000. He had 691 lift on intake, 676 on exhaust, 110 lobe separation. That's his. So, those are your top three. Now, if you if I don't know if I'll put it in there, and I probably should. I don't think I will, actually, because I don't want to do that. You notice how I only mentioned the top three. The reason why I only mentioned the top three is because I'm not trying to offend people that entered this competition.

[00:19:31]Um because in all fairness, everybody gave it their best and it's not fair to rank them. That's why I only do top three because three is good enough because everybody all all competitors were close. And I don't think it's fair to rank them just like that. It's I because then what happens is you see someone else that's way down the list and you think there's going to be a whole bunch of people that didn't even compete in this.

[00:19:54]They're gonna claim to be the expert, but they don't have the balls. It's fair. Um, so the top three are those guys, but I do want to mention some notable things that happened. So, one of them was, uh, a long time ago, I'd asked the viewers, "Hey viewers, hey you guys, can you pick a shelf cam you'd like to see ran in it?" Because several people said, "This is cool. This is all custom cams, but do you have any shelf cams and how would they do? How do they compare to all this stuff?" Right? And I said, "Okay, well, pick which one and I'll buy it." So, I did. So, I bought it directly from Summit. And this is the cam. It's a Comp Cam Thumper Cam. You guys are well aware of it. is by far the one picked by most people to be running the Thumper Cam. And I'm telling you, it's lift and stuff.

[00:20:35]Remember, it's with a 18 ratio and intake and 17 on exhaust. I really think that's part of the reason why I did so well. Here's the specs on this Thumper Cam.

[00:20:44]It was a 639 lift on intake and a 588 on exhaust.

[00:20:50]243 intake duration, 257 on exhaust. It was on a 107 lobe separation.

[00:20:58]that cam. And I have to say, don't forget this rocker ratio is really making it look fantastic. Okay, here's your numbers. Mind blown. Here it comes. Peak power, 695.9 horsepower. Peak torque, 614.2 foot-pounds of torque.

[00:21:21]The average horsepower from 4,00 to 6,500 horse uh RPM 593.7 horsepower. Average torque 592.9 foot-lbs of torque.

[00:21:35]If the someone had bought just this cam and entered it, they would have finished third.

[00:21:42]So, it would have bumped Randy Malik down. Not to insult Randy Malik, but that's how good that cam is that the shelf picked. Do I have a reason for why it did so well? No, I do not.

[00:21:54]A notable thing I need to say is that wasn't the only shelf cam that was entered. There were actually three others which I'm going to talk about very briefly because I want to do my own video on that. Summit provided so many of the parts and I'm very thankful for what they did there. But even with Summit donating all those parts, I gave them no preferential treatment because I'm going to say this. Summit's first cam shaft that they entered was the part number SUM-9000.

[00:22:19]You can look it up. It's actually a solid roller cam, but again, I lashed it just like I did all the rest. I probably should have told you how I did that. I want 6000 um in there for lash. If you've ever tried using a 6000 feeler gauge to try doing it, it's pretty tough. So, what I do is I put a tenth thou in and I kind of tighten it tight because I think I do mine tighter than most. And when I do it with the 10 and snug it down, really the six goes in. So, that's why it also because the 10,000 feeler gauge is thicker, it's easier for me to get them in or to do it is what I'm trying to say. In the end, after I've done it, when you measure with an actual feeler gauge in it, 6000 goes in. So, all of them were ran with 6000. That's what I'm trying to get at. I just use a 10,000 feeler gauge. If I was doing it gentle like some of the rest, the normal people probably do theirs, it probably would have been 10, not me just and yanking to get the thing out. It's six. Anyway, um they were all ran that way. The Summit 9000 is actually a solid lifter cam. We did run solid lifters on it, but it's still a hydraulic spring. Um that one was used, but here's the thing. It He sent that in. Ryan Nutter with Summit sent that in. I didn't count it as a scoring because I got disqualified and he's aware of this because all the cams are ran straight up. There's no time to degree in all the cam shafts. I know some of you are like, "You should probably have done that." Blah blah blah. There's not enough time on average because it's just me changing all the cam. You understand that? And there's no one else helping. It's just me. Two hours. Okay? Two hours to do this all by myself. So to do the degree wheel, several cams would not have got to run.

[00:24:02]All the cams are ran in the straight up position. This is a clo timing chain and they're all ran with the straight up position. When we were checking piston and valve clearance, especially on the exhaust side on his cam shaft for Brian under the 9,000, it was tight, tighter than I liked. It was in the 70s, I believe. Could I have ran it? Probably been okay, probably.

[00:24:25]But I just didn't want to risk it. So, there's a solution.

[00:24:30]It had plenty of intake clearance. The solution is very simple. Just advance the cam. You will lose intake dur uh sorry, you will lose intake clearance, but you will gain exhaust. So, that's what I did. So, I just took the clothes off, moved it to the advance position.

[00:24:44]Once I did that, it made him illegal because no one else got that advantage.

[00:24:48]So, he got booted out as far as in the into the whole scheme of things as far as being able to win. But, it still ran.

[00:24:56]We still ran it and tried it and it did very well. That will probably be the next video that it sees. However, when I first measured it, I contacted Brian Nutter and I told him, I said, "Hey, man, this is really tight. I'd feel bad if you weren't getting into it.

[00:25:10]I will be back the next week," which I was because Team they finished dead last, and I really just need to be and I don't I don't mean to make fun of them. I only say that because they had nothing to gain, and they donated money so that I could go back and do two more days of testing. That's the reason why so many got done. Geralt Bran actually owes them probably a beer or something because I wouldn't have ran Geral Bran's cam because we were I was out of time.

[00:25:34]But because I got to go back, I got to run theirs and the Summit ones. So really, it's Team was a huge part in what happened. Anyway, I contacted Brian Nutter and I told him, "Look, man, yours is a fit, but you got until I get back next week and you can send in another one. I'll run it since I mean not running I'll mean you can't compete in the competition that way, but at least I can run it." He sent in the part number SUMM 90001.

[00:25:56]This is interesting. This is its cam specs. I think I've got it here. I do.

[00:26:01]It's a Saul Roller 2. Um, but it is a Hope I'm not looking in the wrong spot.

[00:26:07]It's a 246 and a half degrees of duration on intake and 260 on exhaust.

[00:26:14]It had a Looking trying to find it on your cam card. Sorry, Nutter.

[00:26:19]Somewhere here. It's in front of me.

[00:26:22]It's not that for sure. Lo center line.

[00:26:25]Well, I can't find it quick and I hate stuttering on this thing, but I it looks like it's on 105 degree lobe separation. And um it has a should be about a 700 lift. I'm not going to do the math in my head real well. That one did really, really well. That one ended up making 727.8 horsepower. Someone did actually beat it on power. 727.7.

[00:26:52]If that cam had been entered and ran in the competition, that one would have actually won. But he couldn't because that's illegal. He saw everybody else's cam cards because the way it worked was everybody sent in the cam. No one knew what each other's cams cards. Then I released them all at the same time. Once he saw everybody else's cam cards, you can adjust what you were going to do. Plus, he also had the advantage of seeing what how the actual cams did in the dyno. So that he understands this. But that cam shaft was really, really well. It should have probably been the one he sent in. It cleared, by the way, perfectly. No problems there whatsoever. So that was one. There was also Carsten Kefir also sent in this Summit cam shaft. This was his entry. Its part number is SUMM8816.

[00:27:32]This actually is a um hydraulic roller cam. It's an LS firing order too, but it is a 238 254 and a 109.

[00:27:42]And I don't it's uh I don't know what this lift are. Probably about 639 if I was to guess. Anyway, it did okay. It's finished about midpack, but it was the only one that actually had a different firing order. Everybody else had the same standard firing order. Just weird coincidence. Now, here's the other things. So, um, the only cam that I did not get to run was Andrew Hunter, and I feel bad that I didn't get to run his.

[00:28:09]His did not have piss clearance either.

[00:28:13]Like, his was worse than pretty much anybody's except for No, he was he was the worst. Um, but anyway, it was like 50. I just I couldn't I couldn't do it.

[00:28:24]Um, he understood, but his cam was a 269, 269, so I don't know how well it had done anyway because it would have been about 10 degrees more, 15 degree more intake duration than anybody else had ran. So, I don't think it would have probably been that great, but I didn't get to run his and I felt bad. Andrew Arnett's actually had the highest peak horsepower, but his also was illegal because he also was tight on exhaust.

[00:28:49]to my liking. So, his was actually like a 90. So, when I advanced the summit to get run the summit cam, I was like, well, since I'm already advancing it, let's try Arnett. He should be fine now.

[00:28:58]And it was after everybody else had ran, so if something goes wrong with the engine, oh well, everybody I mean, I not oh well, the engine's really nice. I'd feel bad, but I was like, why not? That son of a gun was ground by uh Daniel Pow. That sucker was awesome. Would he have won? No. But he made the most power was 727.9 242 degrees of duration on intake by the way. And he did it at 7 6800 RPM. And the slope was like this. So it wasn't like oh that's all it made. No. Had we carried it to like say 7,000 or 72, I bet you it was still would have climbed.

[00:29:35]It probably would have peaked about 71 and probably made about 735 if I'm guessing. So on a 242 degrees duration.

[00:29:43]So that was a Wow. So he did get to run, just didn't get the score. Same same situation, but there were a lot of great cam shafts that were ran in this and everything like that. So now for the part for the competitors want to care about. I asked in the last video because I said this was supposed to be run with boost and it's not. And I understand that and I'm sorry. In November, I'm going to around November, I'm going to go back to So we're going to test just four cam shafts. Just four. So, I just four because that should give me about two days. I should be able to get four in. It gives me time in case things go wrong, which inevitably they will.

[00:30:19]And I'm going to test the top two cam shafts and the other two were picked by you guys. So, the obviously the first one being ran was u Geralt Brand because he won. I think I haven't talked to Chris Alman, but I'm fairly certain he's okay with boost. So, we he'll be the other one. you guys voted and I'm gonna read off the results and I'll tell you.

[00:30:40]So, I'll go just to give you an idea how many people voted for what which ones got voted for. But let the suspense build because here you go. So, oddly enough, two people said the Thumper Cam, which I couldn't because it got given away. One asked for that um Summit LS cam shaft. Team got eight votes um but they weren't enough. Malik got one.

[00:31:07]Bobby from ENK Performance got three.

[00:31:10]Summit's cam shaft got four. Arnett, which was our peak power, got two. He also had a lot of exhaust deration. He would have probably done maybe done well. Who knows? Tyler Newberry, which this was a weird one. He was a Doug Herbert cam shaft. Um, and it did well for the record. Really well. He got four.

[00:31:28]Tim Hillard, you had nine votes, but you didn't make it. Here are your two that will be running in the fall. Daniel Pal overwhelmingly he had 20 votes. No one else was even close to that. So his cam shaft will be ran again. A chance for redemption. And the other one was Joe Carroll. Joe Carroll actually had the smallest cam shaft. So maybe they want to see now we'll get the idea of the bigger ones and the smallest one how it does with boost. He ended up getting 13 votes. So um those two will be ran.

[00:32:01]Anyway, that's your wrap-up summary.

[00:32:03]Probably went too long anyway and probably lost half my viewers just with seeing my face and talking, but whatever. Um, in later videos, what I'll do, like I said, is I'll break them down. The next one will probably be all the Summit Cam shafts. You get the idea.

[00:32:15]Looks like I'm getting a lot of comments on my Facebook thing, which I'm sure they're all positive.

[00:32:20]We know they're not. Uh, but anyway, um, and that's what's going on with that.

[00:32:27]Thanks for all that participated. This is the final cam challenge I will be doing. I'm done with this. In case you're wondering, are you going to do an LS1 again? Probably never. Um, I'm not doing any more cam challenges. I will do some cam stuff for fun where I'll just get a hold of some people, see if they want them to. No money, no pressure. We just go have fun. But as far as doing this again, no, the financial burden is unreal. Um, I've gotten really good at finding ways to lose money, and I prefer to find ways to make money. So, and the other thing is, and I've warned you guys, I I've said this when I did the channel, YouTube does not pay for this.

[00:33:03]I I swear to people think you make thousands and thousands on YouTube. No, it does not. The one video, the most, the video on the um Ford that made the most made like $135.

[00:33:16]Uh, that's it. Okay. The dino session for that day was over a thousand. So no, I and I've said this before, unless things change, then I cannot financially keep doing this. So that's part of it, but the other thing is just it's a headache. You got to get all the pieces to come together. Great companies did help by far and that's nice, but you still money out of pocket. Okay, it's constant money out of the pocket. And um even with a lot of help, a lot of help just people don't understand how expensive that thing is. I could have bought a race car. Okay, really.

[00:33:49]Um anyway, so thanks for all those that participated because everybody that could participated in the cam challenge through this, whether it be the LS, the small block Ford, now the small block Chevy, all of you are fantastic in my book. You did a great job and you you really did put on a good show and I appreciate that. Um no doubt you guys are top-notch class and I'd recommend anybody wants to buy a cam shaft from at least give them a try. So I I think they're they're all know what they're doing. They're did really well. So, uh, anyway, that's it. I, um, I am no Superman. I did race your boy. I don't pork cast iron heads. I don't respond to Facebook or Instagram messages, although people keep trying. Uh, the best way to reach me is through email waggraing@gmail.com.

[00:34:31]Please buy some things so that I don't go completely broke, but if you don't, it's okay, too. You guys take care.
