Cam Guru...

i was just sharing my experience. I barely know the guy so get over it.

He told you some shit you should have already known big deal. I thought it was funny when Jet called him out and he couldn't back anything up he was saying

Pretty sure most of the cam grinders in the US dont need to outsource their customer service department to internet warriors. All the info above is a phone call away from the dudes that grind the cams

Cam guys working for Comp are not going to give you the same expertise or time a customer grinder will. While there is a place for those cam tech guys, there is also a reason custom cam guys are in business. Its the same with any other specialty. Call Summit Racing and call an engine builder like Fox Lake or Kuntz. The advice and recommendations will not be the same.

I could see that happening. Especially on DFWstangs. I read a thread about Jay Allen selling people off the shelf cams and getting called out on it too. He then came up with some kind of cancer and disappeared. Who knows???? He was always a dick in my book anyways.

Jay didn't sell anybody off the shelf cams. When his cam arrived in a Comp Cams box the buyer jumped to conclusions. Jay can be an asshole but he's always been honest to me and everyone I know who've dealt with him. Sometimes being honest and straight forward makes you seem like an asshole. Anyways, unlike this Shaun guy, Jay has tons of experience with designing cams for almost every form of racing. Hell, he lived with the Gliddens for a bit, If I remember correctly.

My issues with him weren't due to his honesty........ the guy was a dick.

Wow, I was totally unaware of this going down. He never even responded to Jet's last post.




Well, I guess its back to the shelves for a lot of us. J/K

or just call Bullit direct and get the same cam he would have sold you.

[projectPONY]

Lol, sounds like a plan. but can I still call it custom?

Jay Allen was ALWAYS full of shit… The only thing funnier than Jay Allen’s little man persona is his gaggle of deluded nuthuggers.

It’s wonderful to watch karma swing around and kick Jay square in the balls. Mister ‘magic cam’ stole his customers’ money, got banned from SBFTech and subsequently went out of business. While he can’t grind you a cam anymore – he can DJ your events. Cammaster Jay is now Jammaster Jay.

So he actually got banned from SBFtech???? Wow he must have really pissed off someone over there. They all thought he was the baddest mother fucker in the universe!!! I left that site because I just couldn't take any more of his fucking bullshit. He called me up one day on the phone and asked me why he was a fucking asshole. My response was I don't know why you are a fucking asshole, maybe you were abused as a child. He hung up and never called me back.

i personally never had a problem with shaun, when i called him asking for a cam he asked me what all i wanted and help me by telling my what all supporting components i would need to help the cam work the best, if i had any problems i would call him and he would help me out, he even helped me get a good deal on some new afr heads

here is what Shaun pmed me during the drama on the other site.

Hey man nice 85 GT. What is your take on this Jet Fast guy and his attitude towards me? I have no reason or desire to comment to him. I think him not believing me is not only his right if he chooses, but sound like his mind is made up. Therefore, I choose not to cast my pearls before swine, as the saying goes. What you think?

[turbostang]

I don't quite understand the desire to disprove his prior experience, or lack thereof. There's enough good stuff to be found on him that I didn't mind taking the bad with it. "cam designer" "engine builder" etc.. doesn't matter what you call him, If he gets me what I need, I don't really care what his experience is.

Some would say since I don't bend my own tubing, that I can't be a fabricator? or, since I don't build my own turbos that I don't "know" how to make one run?

I set up a deal with him for BigShoe's cam, told him what I'd like to see, what the problems in the past were and he made recommendations based on what I told him. With no other changes, his car went the fastest MPH in the 1/8 it's ever gone by a substantial amount - no other changes. No bullshit. No excuses. The cam arrived just as he said it would, and always called with a progress report up until the car ran.

[turbostang]

..and he is on this board.

[bonnie&clyde]

i would def buy another cam from him and would also keep recommending him to everyone that needs a cam
