I asked about his cams a while back b/c I'd never heard of him. His cams were over double the price of a custom from Dwayne/Comp...if I recall correctly. I was told he's pretty secretive about his grinds, didn't want any specs given out, etc. How true that is, I don't know. I was immediately turned off by the price. Plus I've been so happy w/ every grind Dwayne has spec'd for me...no reason to change.

I bought one, but ended up selling it before trying it out. Went with the cam Dwayne Porter spec'd & sourced for me, instead. The two cams were pretty different (the Jones cam was smaller) and I'm not sure how they would have compared in performance.

I believe gregsdart runs one in his bracket race BB. Yes. Inverted flank, .510 lobe, 284 duration at .050 intake, .020 lash with a Jesel 1.7 rocker. Not sure how many grinders now have the ability to grind an inverted flank, and i decided to try it. Exhaust side is 296 @ .050, .019 lash, LSA Is 113. The NET valve lift is .848 intake, .798 exhaust. With the tight lash and high rocker ratio, overlap gets pretty healthy, i am sure. Best peak horsepower of 982 hp was at 110.5 installed and 7600 rpm , but 108 centerline gave gave an increase of horsepower in the midrange of 6200 to 7600, but peak power dropped by 5. This same cam made 926 hp with 440-1 heads and an iron block, all else being the same . The 982 hp combo is 549 cubes, aluminum BMP block, 15/1 compression, .9mm rings, methanol with Terminater, Wilson ported 3x intake, 572-13 cnc 385 heads. The 440-1 headed combo, 2.30 intake valves, 550 cubes iron megablock, 15/1 compression, same intake.

We are planning to have Mike grind us a custom cam for our land speed car. It is an oddball vintage engine, so no off the shelf cams or even cores are available. Mike says he can do it. So far, the communication with him has been very brief, he sounds very busy. But he gets back to me within a day or 2. I've only herd good about his cams.

I put a Jones solid roller in my 511 back in 2014. It made the power we expect3d to and wprked excellent on nitrous.

Never used his stuff in a Chrysler but back in 2003 we tested a custom Jones cam against a custom Cam Motion cam. Both got the exact same specs to build from. The Jones cam got its doors blown off everywhere in the curve. And it wasn’t close. To hear Jones talk would make one think if you aren’t using his lobes you won’t be competitive because his stuff is that far superior.
I don’t believe it. Now, if someone wants to write the checks I’ll test it again, but I’m not paying for it.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

One thing I’m quite sure all cam grinders share……..
-Someone thinks they’re the “best”
-Someone thinks a different grinder is better
