It’s no secret to anyone who’s bought, or shopped for, a cam lately that the prices have steadily gone up.

I just got an order confirmation from Comp yesterday on a flat tappet cam for a BBM.
My cost has gone up significantly........ in one big jump.

I checked on Summits site, and they had gone up there as well.

I checked several part numbers, for a variety of engine makes.
All have taken a big jump.

The roller cam prices from several suppliers were pretty close to each other, but there was a noticeable difference in price on the “racier” flat tappet grinds.

It’ll be interesting to see if the flat tappet prices get closer from brand to brand over the next weeks/months.
I’m wondering if the “lower” priced brands just haven’t rec’d a fresh batch of cores yet, and adjusted their prices accordingly.

Time will tell.

The current pricing for a custom FT cam that’s plasma nitrided is very close to a roller now.
