hi John. I got a set of cams from you last fall as mentioned here:

3.0/915 in a SWB - the perfect combo?

service was impeccable and the cams are great. ridiculous low-end pull. I'll be dynoing the car when I get things dialed in, will post results and pm you a link. thanks and here's to the economic turnaround coming sooner than later. Don.

I'm glad to see you are still at it. The "solex" cams you supplied a couple years ago are running great. If I can do anything for you, let me know.
Thanks and hang in there,

I have used multiple sets of John's cams in motors I have built. Same for reground rockers. His work in excellent and I have been more than satisfied!

John, as Henry says "welcome to the world of small business" !
The workmanship part is the easy part. I struggle daily with the customer service end as does most every small business going.

As I type this I my girlfriend/assistant is madly working in Excell to streamline our ordering/tracking/shipping details so we can deliver products in much more timely fashion......

You will be fine, the workmanship pulls you through until you have the CS end of things working smoothly.

Cheers

John,

Please hang in there. My engine is scheduled for a rebuild this winter and I need your cam and rocker assistance.

I'm a new and satisfied customer. John went the extra mile for me. I bought a set of Carrera 3.2 cams on ebay and sent them to John this past week. He is re-grinding the left one and adding the drive for the scavenge pump. The right one he is allowing me to trade in for a C2 cam with the power steering drive that I need for my 965. All for a great price!

John has always been very helpful with my combo. I run his custom cams in my engine. It has more in it, but it made 700rwhp at 15 pounds and 801rwhp at 20-21......so you be the judge.

Gotta let people know the Good Stuff when it happens.

I sent my 1979 SC cams to John ( for a 964 profile regrind) on Friday May 22, 2009 through the Post office ( from Long Island NY) and I just received notification from UPS that my re-
ground cams are going to be delivered on June 3, 2009.

I had some problems with wear on my rockers, probably due to some oiling issue. John checked out the cams and supplied new rockers at a great price. I am very impressed and satisfied with his customer service.

Thanks John!

Another very happy camper here! Although I have yet to install my DC21's the process of discussing and evaluating my needs were unmatched in other aspects of my build. I am one of those guys that is very technical and hates the old "this is what you want" speech. Johns approach was completely different. He took to time to talk about all aspects of the cams specs, validated some things I knew and brought to light some things I had not considered. I have 100% confidence in his work.

I love John's work so much, I just bought a set of his mod-solex cams from a guy who didn't need them even though I have no immediate need for them. The cams are just THAT GOOD. That makes a SEVENTH set of cams I've owned that John has either touched or made.

wow, I just stumbled onto this thread and am impressed with all the positive comments. Would you mind sending me a PM with a quote for regrinding a set of stock 2.2S cams? I'm restoring a Conda Green 71S Coupe and will probably stay with a stock configured engine but I'm open to any suggestions. TIA

When John reground my pitted S cams to Mod-S it was just over $300, IIRC. Fair was an understatment on price.
