Brian Crower cams
I've first read in Honda Tuning that Brian Crower left Crower to start his own company. It says he simply left to deal with the sport compact scene only. Has anyone run his cams yet? Looking at the specs it doesn't look like they're the same as the regular Crower stuff. Here's the specs and there's some dyno sheets on there too.

If you follow the links in the first post you will see that the specs are different. Crower did not stop selling cams BC is in competition with them now, although he probably still gets his cams made through them.

Re: Brian Crower cams (hu)
I think Brian has wanted to expand what they did and dad didn't.Years ago he started designing cams and other parts for Yamaha four stroke single cylinder dirt bikes.I also remember seeing a letter from Crower stating that Brian Crower was not representing them and was doing things on his own.This was probably six years ago or so.

i think they are too new for any real testing yet.......give them some time eventually some people will buy and test them.
i wonder if the cam specs are copied from the original crower specs?......or if he did more R&D to make up totaly new cam specs....

Anyone else notice this trend in the majority of the aftermarket. Heck all Eagle parts have been made in china for years. The 'final machining' is done here in the states to keep quality control high lol.

I think its more of the fact that he still wants to milk his family's name.... which I don't blame him for doing. If your name was 'Billy Honda' and you started making your own cars would you not put your name on the cars to help sales?
