Melling, Clevite, and Elgin(Not Dema!) all get their cams from the same place, who also sells to everyone else who wants them.....

Types of cam companies?

I guess there's the type who designs and grinds their own, and some other types.

Does anyone know where I can get tech info on the 3896930 camshaft made by GM?

yeah I'd like to get the "advertised" duration numbers for my ZZ502 cam also. Whether it's @.004 or @006 or whatever.

pdq67,

General Kinetics, where I had my 1st full-time cam design job, 30 years ago, this Aug 4th, was bought by LUNATI. When Lunati sold his company to Holley, they didn't want GK, so Lunati kept the name. HMMMMM----I wonder?
As far as the 930 cam, the factory part number is #3896929. The factory laughingly called it 310/320 seat duration, and it was 195/202 at .050, .390"/.410" valve lift, and 112 LSA. I mistakenly called it 110 LSA the other day, but after a little research....
It was the 327/300hp cam, the 350/295hp cam, and even the 350/200hp cam, and probably some others, too.

UDHarold,

What did you think is the best cam for a street/strip car with a 396
