He must think he's smarter then everyone, because he keeps posting trying to convince us he's something he definitely isn't. - A cam shaft designer. It's strange how many people want to be cam experts, what's the fascination? It's also interesting how similar his post structure and phrasing is to Chris Sunkin's. He also, professes to be an expert in areas he isn't, and then continues to deny and confuse the issues when called out. It must be a typical con man tactic. If you keep putting the lies and half truths out there, maybe some people will believe it. I think Serious is probably a much better place for straub to peddle his junk.

Bob,
Just had a customer come to me with a 434CID SBC that does not run, runs slower than this 406CID. He wants a cam change. I remembered talking to him several months ago and at that point we discussed his oil pan and headers. Pan is not a rail kick out, headers are 1 5/8". I asked him if he had changed the headers and pan. He said no. I told him no cam change was going to improve the car until he got the supporting components to achomplish his goals.
If we advise the customer on what to do and he chooses not to all of it then we have NO CONTROL.

Lightning, CMI, or Stellings Headers ? Full wet or dry to the tip ?

ONLY IF THE ZOMBIES HAVE LEFT THE SITE.....
By the way the OP got the proper answer on the first page, he just needed more reassurance that took a couple hundred post to get him to agree.
By the way Griff with almost 13000 posts I am sure you have fluffed a few threads along the way.

All the things said about straub is absolutely true. The cam I bought from him was 100% junk and didn't perform well at all. I say 100% because its on a cast core and its not even worth having it reground into a usable piece. My advice to anyone is to stay far away from this guy as possible. He stands behind nothing that he sells and gets top dollar for it.

I try to warn as many as possible that this is a guy(and aa few others) that doesn't even know how to change an intake on a bbc.
Says volumes when Rmbuilder responds to this azzclown(cslob).

Bill your responses and name calling like you do come from children, not a so called business owner. It's funny how I'm suppose to have all these unhappy customers but when you google search custom cams Straub Technologies comes up on the first page. I wish you good luck Bill.
