Rocket Challenge
When looking for cams with good midrange and good power what do i need to pay attention to? Lift, duration? What combination of both?
Are any of your cams compatible with OEM ITR springs?

i'm not familiar with rocket's background. has he shared it? his web page doesn't have a whole lot of info (yet?).
Rocket has several years experience as well as the honest desire to engineer parts that make things faster while delivering them at a good price.
rocket called me on sunday night and let me talk and pick his brain for an hour. I'm very impressed with him and his knowledge. Honestly a great guy!!

Are your B18B 10.4 mm regrinds a suitable street cam? Do you recommend any other mods in conjunction with them (besides springs)? Thanks. 
EDIT: Never mind. I did some research and found out how streetable a 262 duration cam is. O . O

The L21 LS regrinds make nice power and you'll get better gas mileage too.

Thanks. I love discussing performance. That's why I've learned so much from my own experiences and first hand experiences from others.

</TD></TR></TABLE>
M2X = BVTEC M21 Less Duration--->M25 Alot of Duration, M24e (e is for extended lift)
L2X = LS
S2X = SOHC VTEC
N2X = Non-vtec SOHC D16A6, D15B
Z2X = ZC
I think it is good naming scheme. Makes it easier to right about it.

hey rocket, i'm interested to test your D16Z6 profile. have you seen my lil project remix? it's been around for a long time. (see my .sig).
let me know if you're interested.

testing is one thing, but i would like to know why. can you explain why your products are better than some of the top names in the industry? of course w/o revealing your secrets, if thats even possible.
a lot of the time a wonder-product that springs up from nowhere must sacrifice something, somewhere, ie reliability, cost, etc.

Bump for Rocket to see the question.

after a personal visit to rocket's place...i am a firm believer.
i will go with no other cams or valvetrain on the market.
right now all i have are the ef-1 spark plugs
and YES they DO work
if no one else posts dynos on here...just wait till mines come up
my god i can't wait.
but i must restore my stolen sound system

Follow some of my posts and you'll probably answer this question.

well i visited rocket and we talked about car stuff for like..2 hours i would guess...
maybe more. to relay all the insightful information and knowledge he shared with
me, i would not know where to start. at times, some of the stuff he was explaining
was over my head, but one surefire sign of trust was that he always gave informative reasons, and not just hype. he spoke from experience..and also
showed me comparisons between his valvetrain, alaniz/portflow (we found out they
are the same stuff that night cuz i brought the alaniz valvetrain over before i sold it) and others. he showed me a lot of his different cams...dope stuff.. very high quality.
you have every right to question..even the spark plugs
man my car is noticeably more responsive, and i still got 300 miles before the gas light came on
with mainly hard driving. it was the 2nd most powerful mod i've done, behind taking out my power steering. i don't have many performance mods (engine wise)
done to my car, because i got 4 tickets last year...but this year, the buildup has started. what i noticed most, is while cruising...and then mashing on the gas pedal,
the spark plugs showed their true colors. very responsive power as compared to
the stocks.

I am interested in trying a set of your cams and compare the power to the Toda B's I have now . What is the specs of the pri. sec. lobes on I think it was M23 .
thanks thats the kind of user response i want to hear. now if the man wouldnt mind repeating what he said to you that would be even better. hm i should start recording the next time i attend an auto-related seminar
