Sometimes good things DO come to those that wait. Glad to hear it. Good luck.

You can't go wrong getting the cams Bob recommends. His knowledge is great and he doesn't forget you after you bought the parts. As you know he will talk with anybody to help them out whether he gets a sale or not. I try to talk all my buddies into ordering a cam from him v/s an off the shelf cam out of Summit.

I have one of Bob's cams in my boat... When I was building my engine Bob helped me spec everything! I couldn't be happier with the engine set up... One other suggestion I have is to call Patrick at ProSystems carbs.
What was Bobs opinion on an Aluminum block? My engine builder had a pair of Aluminum blocks in his shop that were toast! I'm assuming they were freshwater but I'm not sure on that. All I know is one of the shop guys said "never use and aluminum block in a boat". |

I just got off the phone with Bob. WOW what an education and a great guy to talk to. Bob asked questions that no one else had asked. Everything from how I plan on using my boat to what exhaust, Head type- flow and EFI I was using. I underestimated how the cam really works. If I had not already ordered my motors Bob would have receive my purchase order after all that. Building a low maintenance and dependable motor was always my number one goal. I think Bob filled in all the missing pieces. Thanks Bob

What did Bob say? Did he like the 332 cc Brodix head for this application? What about cam numbers?
