Question
Dan, I'm designing my own small engine and need some expert help in the design and manufacturing of the engine cams (timing, jerk prevention, etc..).  What small shops/companies are out there that have the software and know-how to design (and maybe mfg) a cam?
thanks,
JR

Answer
The only person I know is Dave Generous at Cam Techniques,  He does my regrinds for me and used to do all of Bob Sharpe's work.

I'd suggest an e-mail first to see if he can help you further and/or can direct you to others.

Good luck

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
