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.

i read this also, in for info. im sure all of his products will be top notch.

 

anybody?

 

rock bottom prices

 

I'm in for some more info on the cams. Maybe some more specs like valve opening and closing events etc.

 

I'm in now I want to know

 

Im gonna throw this out there evrything is proably the same stuff has crower was before he just branched into the sport compact world so that crower can mainly focus on the v8 crowd where the big bucks are at

 

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.

Possible, Crower is falling behind with the 8s and yes that is where moneys at.

He is getting all his parts made elsewhere.

 

really wow, im very suprised it would go down that way , im guessing there was a falling out with the family or did he just want to take things in a new direction ?

 

big fall out...happened in a matter of a couple of hours, inside sources say

 

yes but i dount think it needs to be posted

Elsewhere consists of China. I know this for a fact.

 

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 know this is drama tech but lets keep this on subject.

anybody have first hand experience or more info on BC cams?

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....

 

That was Dan Crower...

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?

 

It's always good for the consumer when another company enters the market.

Let's just hope that these products are more refined with better quality control then the original crower prodcuts.
