Default Chris straub camshaft feedback

Hi guys,
I would just leave feedback about CSTRAUB who designed me a custom grind solid roller cam to match my 460 BB.
Unfortunately I didn't bring the car to the dyno with the new cam so I only have a feeling on how the car goes but I can tell you it's a big improvement.
I just told him what combo I had and what's my goal, now I still have 15" of vacuum like I had with my old magnum comp cams but now car runs 12.6 @ 110 and best of all it improved my mileage by 3 miles !!!
Chris also provided all the valvetrain parts at a really good price and a very good support to do the job right.
There's several knoledgeable TC members who build engines, trans and axles or sell parts and Chris is one of them.

Last word for all foreign members, I live in France and Chris was very good on shipping too.

Laurent.

Good Post Chris deserves more "atta boy's " ..... I am another Foreign" "customer with similar experience My Straub Solid Roller continues to run great yes more power and quicker than last " custom" cam of similar duration and lift ........but even better its so easy on valve train no issues and running it harder than ever

Got a solid roller and lifters from him. Happy with the results and especially the cam was advertised (pulls strong all the way but is just as happy shifting at 6000 rpms)

X2 Chris furnished me with one of his solid roller designs for my 427 bbc. Great cam! He as well as many others on this site know their stuff.

Chris is good people,there is a lot of guys out there that don't care about your combo they just want to sell you parts and Chris is not one of them from my experience.
