Default Which cam brand?

Ok, I've got a good idea of the size cam I'm going with now. But which brand is the next question. I heard different companies have different style lobes so is any one better?

Comp Cam, Thunder, Vinci, Etc

I'm definitely a Crane/Vinci person.

We all have our own favorites and brand loyalty going on...

I understand everyone has their favorites, but I was just wondering if one type/brand works better with our heavier trucks.

They all have good cam grinds but i think that thunder would have more of a choice for trucks.I also think that thunder cams are ground by comp.One ore the other will have what your looking for.

I'd go with Comp or Cam Motion. At the end of the day Cam Motion gave me exactly what I wanted and needed, so I went with them.
