I would think that a TSP cam would probably be "easier" for Comp to grind since it uses their own XER lobes, while Geoff has his own proprietary lobes that they have to grind, and as Corey mentioned, the setup for the machine may be a longer process. They might even want x amount of orders before they'll run some EPS cams off

The reply from our Comp rep when I asked if it could take weeks, for any reason, to make a custom grind...."No way. Most of y’alls ship the day after you order them."

Negative, if you're ever in Memphis, swing by Comp and they'll give you the tour so you can see the process. Their lobe masters are stored/kept right in the same filing room as the others and are setup on the same machines the same way. Comp doesn't have a minimum order amount or anything like that either.

And if I ever do get to Memphis, I'll definitely swing by Comp's facility, I'd love to see cams and valvetrain parts being made

We toured Comp, FAST, RHS, and TCI,which is down the road a ways, for 2 days straight. We got to meet with some of the geniuses over there that design the lobes and all for the race teams, which was a high-point for me! It was alot of walking, but very cool to see what goes on behind the scenes there!I'm not going to sit here and bash Geoff....but I will say that I do hate to see my truck-brethren getting the wool pulled over their eyes and tricked into thinking 4-6 weeks is ok for a "custom" grind!

EPS is only 1 person....its kinda hard to tune, build things, cam spec, order everything ya know? its a little hard for 1 man to keep up with everyone.
he's a good guy, and knows his stuff. he designed the Thunder Racing cams in Baton Rouge, so they guys loved them. now he owns EPS, and everyone is wanting his cams. i will wait 4-6 weeks for a bad *** cam simple as that.
my next cam will be bigger and be a lot better of a DD
