The heart of your engine, the CAMSHAFT... 
Still one of the most misunderstood components in performance engine building today. You can use the latest computer simulation programs, read the flashy catalogues, go on the forums to be misled day in day out. The bottom line is the only people capable of really choosing a camshaft profile correctly are those who really know and understand how an engine works.
Those who build engines all day long and test thousands of combinations to find optimum components matches. Those who actually design and manufacture engine components including camshafts and test their theories day in day out on an engine dyno to really evaluate the torque curves they are looking for. Most importantly, those who really love their craft and get real satisfaction out of creating a component mix that does everything and more it is supposed to.
If you look around Australia's performance industry you will not find any other company here that goes to the trouble and expense of developing performance components designed to work to maximise your results on the street or race track. Before just buying a camshaft or any performance product being recommended by the local performance guru, do some research yourself. It may save you the grief of finding that the 1st selection of components, particularly the camshaft, did not produce the desired effect.
Our COME Cams are designed using the latest software which takes into account an incredible range of valvetrain dynamics, weights, valve motion characteristics and valve spring rates. Our master cams are then machined on CNC grinding machines to almost immeasureable accuracy. This final master cam is then used on our in house grinders to produce the most accurate cam profiles possible. That's only the beginning. We verify the effectiveness of every profile in custom built dyno test engines to ensure the designs produce exactly what they are supposed to...maximum power and torque, maximum valve train stability for long valve train life and the quietest possible operating efficiency.
There's more to making a cam than just copying someone elses grinds. We prefer to design and test our own ideas before they end up in your engine and you become the "test mule". A camshaft is indeed one product you want to get right the first time, it effects your whole engine combination dramatically because it truly is the "heart of your engine" regulating almost everything that the engine produces.
If you think about it carefully can you imagine the number of camshaft types there really are? Automotive, motorcycle, petrol, diesel, aircraft, marine and lots more. COME Cams does only cams for very specific engine types. We narrow our focus because it's impossible to cover all those possibilities successfully and achieve maximum results from all of them. There are simply not enough hours in the day to devote to a real development program to cover all bases. Most cam companies buy existing performance grinds and copy them to enable them to extend their master cam libraries.
The problem with this logic is that copies are never quite the same as the original. Frankly, if one does not know the diameter of the grinding wheel used to make the donor cam then the copy cannot be accurately reproduced. We prefer to design and develop our own range of profiles with todays technology. Our results in the cam industry have been documented over more than 20 years by successful racers and street users throughout Australia.
COME Racing manufactures cams for Holden V8, Chev LS1/LS2/LS3/LS7 V8, Holden V6, Ford V8's, Chev Small and Big Block V8's. Our cam product range to suit these engines is by far the most advanced technologically in Australia and we work hard to keep it that way. When you need a camshaft to suit these engines it would be useful for you to email us at workshop@comeracing.com for an urgent cam recommendation and pricing, or to come@comeracing.com for cam or other product enquiries. Remember, the cheapest cam you can buy is the one that works best the first time.
If you still prefer to choose your own profile, as us for our complete catalogue. We can email this or post it to you in hard copy by regular post. You can of course call us during business hours on (03)9571-4204 for help with all our products.
