Default ???Thunder Racing Cams = Comp Cams???

I heard that the Thunder Racing Cams are just custom grind comp cams that Comp does so what would be the difference in buying a Thunder Racing 220 Cam or buying a Comp Cam with the same specs as the TR220 are the lopes more aggressive on a TR or are they the same cam.

thunder racing cams are their custom grinds. little more lift then comp. cams work awesome but getting a hold of them is hard. Excellent cam.

comp grinds thunder's cams but they have their own lobes. they are much different from comps direct grinds. From what I have learned the lobes are inbetween the XE and XE-R lobes thus providing a very good torque and HP curve while still calling out good numbers overall!
I am very happy with my TR220/112

ive dealt with thunder a few times over the years and they are a top notch company. i dont see how any TR cam is hard to get ahold of.

1 more plus is that through thunder you can get all of comp's products (more or less) for a little bit cheaper and buy the cam kit's for the first timer's that need everything, and comp doesnt offer the kit's like that.
