Are you charged when you order or once the cam is ground and shipped out to you?

Charged when you order! It takes about 1.5-2.5 months to get the cam. I waited 2 months for mine. He is wayyyyyyy behind on cam orders. The midrange does well. You definately need at least a 3000-3200ish stall. Top end is wild. Once you get the cam in you will forget about the 2 month turn around for it

All... Geoff at EPS has had such great success with his cams that he is stupid swamped and far behind.

It's my understanding that the EPS lobes are supposedly just as aggressive as a Comp XER lobe, but don't have the "jerk" action to them and transition more smoothly than an XER to help prolong spring life. If I'm not mistaken, this is somewhat explained on Geoff's site. And yes, if you plan on running an EPS cam, don't expect to install it until almost two months from now. Last I heard, Geoff was 4-5 weeks behind, on all grinds, and he just keeps getting busier and busier so that time frame may have increased since I heard it over a month ago.

The cam i tuned was a comp and I would be willing to bet they would perform closely. When I get ready to cam, I think I will go with a comp grind and have texas speed do a custom xfi/xer for me.

Im pretty sure your right! I think the EPS will perform a little better due to the lower lsa. Only reason i bought the EPS rather than the comp though is because of the high lift which i could benefit from my worked heads. I bet they are very similar though like stated.
