Personaly I would love to know where it says im a RMW Rep?
Mbsat, Thanks I really think that your post helped everyone.
Its not my fault that your so into mynes that you have to attack me because I have RMW in my sig. Really if it makes you happy ill just take it out?
Sounds pretty comunist to me, All Hail Stalin Ahem Mbsat:/ Since you have Rmw in your sig are you a rep because of it?
Fatherdeth, He was banned because he drove all of the members of this site freaken crazy and him coming back selling his wares thru another member seems like its just not fair to us.
However Should he come back as a vendor (admins permitting) Ill be the first one to sing his praises.
Bring a dyno graph bring performance results, Im in simple as that.
Till than i still feel that its wrong.

calling me an Idiot and all kinds of names seems somewhat rediculous.
MiniJoe If you have some kind of issue with me I really would love for you to Pm me or Email me(You have my email) and clear it up as opposed to hiding behind your keyboard and editing your posts back...
Paul Thanks for the glowing review it contributes so much to our discussion.
Astrochex Im glad to see that someone has at least one thing straight.

Naz.. I called Crower. He referred me to a Calif. Number ( no answer yet!!) where Crower has done a LOT of different grinds. Crower suggested we contact the "referred Place". However Crower will re-grind the cam ( core ) when we send it to them... Just WHAT grind..?? you can find Crower Cams on the Net.. they will also have an email address, SOOOooo... NAZ, email the guys at Crower.. Or I will advise you IF/When I can get some numbers. Cool??

Just me.............................

At the El Paso Tune, your car's performance (with the Nitro Stick) was in-line with the other two MCS with the Newman Camshaft, no? If only we can get those dyno graphs from Rich

There are certainly more choices out there when it comes to cam shafts: MegaMini, Newman and Nitro Sticks

I am so glad to see someone that has a little common sense. I've talked to Nitro many time's and he could not nor would not ever show a before and after Dyno for anything he claimed.

I am getting his NitroStick cam and will soon be installing it into a BV Cosworth head, should be a good fit
Based one what JIMINNI??? Seriously man what are you basing this statement on? The guy doesn't even drive his car . For me this has nothing to do with the cam but rather the fact that guys like you and Nazrin just buy into stuff with jack to back it up. You bought the cam based on what? A guys butt Dyno?

Mike,

When I found out that Lynn is using "your" web site to sell his cam's over your own I couldn't stop . Have you guys banned this joker yet .

I didn't think our stock cams could be ground down for any performance gains. ie lift especially. How much lift are you giving up using a stock re-grind? Do you have to use larger diameter cam follower/rollers or???

Anyways, thanks for sharing and documenting old Nitromini's tinkering Keith!
