Anyone of you used cams by i.e. frim new billets? Like their 306 degree cam? Is it just as good as Schrick cams?

 

Thanks in advance !

What's your plan - street or track usage?

Whoa.... Been a long time since I've seen you post, Dave. I've referenced your Weber info for a long time. 

 

Can't help on the .306, but glad to see you're still around.

Both but my question was has anyone used an I.E. 306 cam? Better than Schrick 304?

I got their '314' during the week it was in production.

It was cut on a cast blank, as I think all their grinds are.

 

It was good.  I had to be VERY careful to break it in gently (lots of oil, ZDDP, no idling, even mild valve springs at first)

as the 314 was RIGHT at the limit of what the stock radius could do, and I expect

the 304 isn't too far behind that.  

 

Was it as good as Dr Schrick back when he was really making his own stuff?

No.

Was it a better value at less than half the cost?

Yes, for me, it was.

 

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Ireland grinds.  Just treat them as what they are-

aggressive grinds on a stock blank.  And priced accordingly.

Do ask Jeff how he wants you to break it in.  And do what he says.

 

See this thread

and if that's what the good Dr is selling, they are selling the same thing that IE is...
