Ordering a custom cam profile design from Ingram Engineering is easy. It can all be done online or over the phone if you like. I do prefer to use email when dealing with numbers because it helps avoid any misunderstanding. If you already know the specifications of the profile you want just supply me with that information. If you are not sure about what you need I will be glad to help you. After I have all the necessary information I will run some numbers and send you the results of the initial design. At that point we can make some changes or continue on and complete the design. Each standard cam profile design is very affordable at $88 so you can create a new series of cam profiles or add to an existing one. More involved designs taking more time will be $60 per hour. When your order is finished I will email an invoice with PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account and there are no fees involved. Financing is also available through PayPal Credit. If you are not familiar with PayPal click on their logo below for more information.
I will then send all of the design data to you. The design data will consist of the opening and closing input data for the profile ramps, tappet and base circle diameters, the complete profile lift table in one degree increments showing the lift, velocity, acceleration, jerk, pressure angle, and radius of curvature. There is also a summary showing the duration at various lift points, total area, minimum and maximum output values, and valve lash information. Also furnished with each cam profile design is an .s96 and a Landis .p file. The Landis .p file is for the popular Landis 3L cam grinding machines. The .s96 file will work with most CNC converted machines. The lift table can always be entered manually into any CNC machine. The output data along with the input data is in the United States customary units of measure. Sample files of what you will receive are available upon request.
You can now knowingly make camshafts with profiles that are properly designed for specific components and applications. No more having to use copied profiles or profiles that are not exactly what you need. Your cam profiles and all of the design data is exclusive to you and will be kept completely confidential and secure.

PROGRAMS AND MORE
Valve Timing Program - spreadsheet file that calculates valve opening and closing events for symmetrical and asymmetrical cam profiles. Allows the user to print a nice valve timing sheet to go with the camshaft. Runs on any version of Microsoft Excel or compatible program. Instructions included. File will be emailed.
$12
Cartesian Coordinate Conversion Program - spreadsheet file that converts the typical cam profile Polar coordinate lift table into Cartesian (x and y rectangular) coordinates. Necessary for creating a model cam lobe using x and y coordinates. Runs on any version of Microsoft Excel or compatible program. Instructions included. File will be emailed.
$12
Cam Profile Design Program - early DOS program that was one of the few cam profile design programs in existence at the time. This program was used to design many cam profiles in the 1980's that were used by the dominate NASCAR teams. The program is written for users who already know how to design cam profiles and have experience using cam profile design software. Runs on computers using Windows 98 or 95 or a MS-DOS operating system with printer. No instructions. Includes U.S. Priority Mail and 3.5" disc or compact disc.
$270
Reed Cams, Inc. Profile Designs - original designs of the popular Reed cam profiles. Many great cam profiles that still work fine today. No more having to use inaccurate copies. Request a free email copy of Reed Cams, Inc. profile catalog (.pdf file).
$80 for each cam profile design.
