I was wondering, who all still uses Racer Brown cams ? I called and I was impressed.

Not super fast but my Edelbrock headed 408 went 5.98 with one. I know it would go 9.28-9.32 in the 1/4 mile.

Note I said not a lot of racers. I know there are a few and if you have a good relationship with a company then by all means use them. Just don't think you are gonna find a plethora of racers going there.

I use a Racer 140R roller in my NSS 426 Nostalgia Hemi. Used it for years. Over the years I've used many old school Hemi grinds, R294, R296 Cranes, R292 Cam Dynamics, Comp Cams, Crower. The Racer is my favorite, still.

I had a Racer Brown in one of my Slants 20 years ago, and it was 20 years old when I bought it off another Slant guy. That said, it worked well.

I run the ST-21 in my 440 - mapping the valve events the profile is very similar to a comp XS solid in similar @.050 duration.

Jim is a good guy and will help you pick the cam that will work best for you.

I'm talking both. The roller I use in my Hemi I bought off of SoCal, if I recall the foreman there was a guy named John. The guy in Baltimore bought the whole deal, and sells the same grinds that Racer did. I don't know if he still offers the old mushroom tappet cams. Some of them were really good.
