WOW! The end of another year. I have fortunately been able to watch many years go by and been able to learn something new each year. I have also seen many things change through the years, especially with technology. Some things have changed for the better and some things are definitely much worse than before.
The world of camshafts has honestly not changed very much through the years. Instead, people are finally starting to understand and use the technology that has existed since the beginning. Hopefully this website has contributed a small part to that understanding. Valve train components are getting better which allows camshaft lobe designs to move the valves faster and farther to make more power with more reliability. The valve train will generally need to change first before the lobe profile can change. Many people are now using computers to measure and analyze their camshafts before installing them. Some are learning more about camshafts and lobe designs instead of relying on the manufacturers and their marketing gimmicks. Actual knowledge is always a definite advantage with anything. So keep learning. Thanks again to everyone that has trusted me with their lobe designs. It was also nice to communicate with all the new people this year along with my regulars. Hopefully I was able to help. Everyone have a happy and prosperous new year.

Video about flat tappets and roller tappets and oil. It took 56-years for NASCAR to figure this out. Many other racing organizations need to also figure this out.
This subject is also mentioned on the website but I still get questions for information that I do not release. I do not release information on who I do cam designs for. I do not release information on the cam designs of my customers. I do not release information on how I design cam profiles or what software that I use. All of this "top secret" stuff is for the benefit of my customers and I think most of them appreciate that I do keep it confidential.
As I have said before, how a cam profile is designed or what software is used does not really matter. The person designing the cam profile determines the final lobe profile design. The knowledge and experience that the designer has will have more to do with the profile than the process used. No different than a plumber or an electrician. You hire the one based on their knowledge and experience. As far as not releasing information on my customers and their lobe profiles, well that should be obvious. Hopefully everyone understands and I don't upset anyone for not answering your question relating to this subject. |
