Erson Cams Quality Discussion - 03/13/14 09:11 PM
Looking for feedback on Erson Cams. I'm hoping to get some insight into your experiences with the quality, precision, time it takes to receive a cam from Erson, and contacting sales and technical assistance. Good, bad, or indifferent.

They still make cams? They make them for something other than a small block Chevy ?

Do they still have the old grinds as well? The Super High Flow II was a great hydraulic for a stock inch Street Hemi.

Friend got a Erson High Flow from Summit for his wedge - close to 300 duration and 475-480 lift
I don't know if it has the same specs as the old days or if it's a modern grind
Seems like alot of duration compared to lift myself - but he seems to like it

Yes, we're still making cams, and yes we still have all of Sig Erson's original profiles. I took the manufacturing facility over in October of 2011 and I'm striving to make the best camshaft product on the market. We do have a few more modern, aggressive profiles with higher lifts. Trying to cover the whole market. We'd be glad to custom grind you a camshaft. Our custom turnaround times are generally within 24 hours. This is the manufacturing facility, not salesmen. We're looking for feedback on what the market is asking for and what will bring our customers the highest quality product out.
Thanks
Russ

Yes, we still make all of Sig's original Mopar and Hemi cams. We have all of the original profiles. If you have any of your favorites that you would like, just let us know. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

There's a lot of discussion (here and other forums) about the poor quality of aftermarket cams/lifters on the shelves today. I don't run an Erson (or any other aftermarket) cam, but when I read your post, the first question that popped into my head was: I wonder what, if anything, Erson is doing better than everyone else to prevent this? Also, do you manufacture your own lifters, or do you source them from elsewhere?

We don't manufacture our on lifters at this time. Believe me, I wish that we did. But on the cam side of things, we do run every cam we grind across the Campro machine to make sure that it specs out to be exactly what it is supposed to be. Where a lot of your larger companies check one out of twenty or one out of fifty, we test every cam. We also check the taper on all of our flat tappets to make sure that it's at its maximum angle to work with the flat tappet lifters that the end user is forced to use. We are striving to make the best cam product on the market, so we welcome any feedback that will help us better what we do.
Thanks

How about posting a sample catalog of your Mopar grinds???
I had my machine shop check into one of your grinds a year or so ago. It appeared to be a "modern" grind, by the adv, .050, .200 and lift compared to a comparable Comp "modern" lobe.

Re: Erson Cams Quality Discussion - 03/15/14 02:08 AM
I work part time at a shop that uses lots of Ersons--First Class quality--EXCELLENT tech help and turn around time --they are as good as any grinder out there. All the BS about "modern" grinds always chaps me as an engine builder--customers will take months and spend weeks to select the PERFECT latest hi tech Whamodynoe 9000 camshaft--then almost always they could have made a better choice and do some other thing that defies logic and hurts the build way more than the less than perfect cam would--The cold hard truth is that most all "modern" grinds are MAXING out usable lifter area--a luxury Mopar had--as in had at one time but now these grinds beat the heck out of the valve train--have used up the extra lifter diameter "safety zone" that Mopar has always enjoyed--and for WHAT??? A Few extra HP that the Computer "says" will be there??? So what if it is 10 extra HP??? Who cares?? Now you are beating up the valve train--having to use crazy spring pressure to control this stupid computer designed ( and almost always UN-TESTED) junk--killing lifters--Oh Boy!!! I gots me an extra HP--Yahoo!!!!
Erson is great! I know shops that can build more HP with a $52 big Summit cam than a $400 custom because they know what they are doing with the other 95% of the build.
Ok go back to wasting your nights picking that perfect dream cam that will make your engine perfect. I will build another with the ole Scummit special that will melt some more tires and make another customer happy and I will probably send it out the door with way less spring pressure than you would approve of yet it will still turn ( and control) all of the usable RPM the cam can muster.
I guess I should start using Comps newest roller cams that Now require ( per their advice) near 1000 lbs open pressure to control--oh wait ...my lifter wheels just passed into the oil pan! But..that thing made some extra HP because the computer said so

Ok Ok I just came off a 16 hour day and am a little ragged--but Erson is a great cam seller and yes I have made awesome HP in a Mopar with "ole Chevy lobes " on Mopar stick--everyone used to
Yes the latest will net you a few but it is at a Big price IMO

Re: Erson Cams Quality Discussion - 03/15/14 02:16 AM
I use Erson cams more than any other. As Russ said, they have many new profiles, as well as the time proven designs. If you speak directly to Erik at Erson, he can help with the best profile for your application.
I will say, the new 3 piece core, billet roller cores are the best. They have a cast distributor gear that is replaceable. It does not require a bronze gear on the distributor either. These cores are made by Callies and the quality is outrageous. I don't know if the availability covers all makes yet, however.
I never wait longer than a few days for a custom grind, right to my door.

At one time Erson did a group buy with
www.slantsix.org I never bought one. I wonder about the quality of blanks for the slant. Regrinding a stock cam could be an option. I'll post a link to the group over there.

Re: Erson Cams Quality Discussion - 03/17/14 08:47 AM
I run a Erson in a 383 that has been in a Challenger, Dart Swinger & now a 56 Plymouth. 906 heads, Holley SD intake & TQ carb. The engine has, and continues, to perform flawlessly. Great street manners, nice thump at idle & plenty of giddy-up when the traffic light goes green. I'm very happy with what I have.
My reference page is a worn xerox copy of the Mopar section of a 1984 Erson catalog from a Super Shops parts counter.

Re: Erson Cams Quality Discussion - 03/17/14 09:10 AM
I ran a Erson 270 grind in a slant 6 for years. I would love to have another, along with a 280! With a 270 cam, 3.55 gear, 833od, mildly ported head with big stainless valves, a super six intake, 2.5" exhaust, and a mopar electronic distributor using a gm hei module, my 84 swb truck would pull a proven 25-27 mpg at 70 mph, if not bucking a wind over 15 mph.
I ran this cam for over 75000 miles with no issues whatsoever. A lot of people thought it had a healthy small block in it. It sounded really sweet! I was never kind to that engine.

Our web designer is working on getting a PDF on our website that will contain all of our Chrysler grinds. If anyone would like us to mail them a catalog that has all the Chrysler A and B cams in it and a list of our masters for our profiles, we'll be glad to send them one. Just PM us requesting it with your personal email address and home address for the catalog. The file is too large to post in this forum. As far as our profiles being Chevy profiles on a Chrysler stick, we have profiles that are meant to be on 840 tappets, 870 tappets and 900 tappets. Every cam company uses multiple lobes for multiple applications. It's just a matter of how aggressive you want your ramp profile to be and how hard you want to beat up your valve train for which profile we put on your cam. If you get our catalog and look through our lobes you can pick out the profiles you want on your Chrysler stick. If anyone has any other questions or anymore feedback, we welcome it. If anyone is ever in our area, I would gladly give you a tour. You can ask Martin from Radiac. I'll gladly show you around and proudly show you the quality and craftsmanship that we grind into every Erson cam.
Thanks
Russ

I know there old adjustable rockers are pretty much bullet proof.the set i run I bought in 1971.they cost me about 100 bucks back then.Only problem I had was the adjusters.they were originally a interference type fit with no lock nuts.I used the MP ones with locks and that was about 8 years ago.Still run them in my 440.Rocky

Gotta agree with you, the current website isn't exactly ideal. We're currently working on building an entirely new website which will include all of our products and a far more user-friendly interface. We expect it to be complete and ready for public use within two months. We'll post a notification for everyone here when it's up and running. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know.

Not looking like the old rockers will be coming back any time soon. There may be a few odd sets in inventory from ten years ago. If you have a particular number you'd like us to look for I can check and see if we have it. Sorry about the loss of rockers.

PM sent!
I have a question for you...........
way back around 1983, I bought a SBC hyd. cam that was known as a "Viking" or maybe "Viking II". All I can remember about it was an advertised duration of "298", not sure of the lift or LSA. That cam had the rowdiest idle I've ever heard. My fault but the car was mismatched and didn't have enough gear, but unsuspecting passengers got a surprise on freeway entrance ramps. Had it in a 327. A lot of fun with a 4 speed manual!
I'd really like to know the rest of the cam spec's if you have enough info to narrow it down?

I will let you guys know any results, but I'm probably a couple months away on that project. I just looked through some old stock and found a Viking H100 for a big block Mopar. May have to try it out. Not much info on the internet about it. Looks like its supposed to be a mild performance grind. Maybe I'll test it in a fairly stock big block and against a newer grind.

We're working on some four-pattern camshafts for Chryslers, putting different lobes on the outside cylinders versus the inside cylinders. Didn't know if you might be interested in something like that. Some of our customers are giving us feedback indicating a 20 horsepower gain and some more than that when they're using a single plane manifold.

Always wondered why someone didn't do that to broaden the power range and take advantage of the different length runners. Just figured the lengths weren't different enough to matter.

Good to know Erson is still pumping out the cams!
I was going through some boxes after my garage fire and found an old Erson sticker from a hydraulic cam I put in my 383 in 1979.
Too bad I sold that engine with the cam in it, I would love to use it today but I don't remember the specs.

I have a TQ30H that's going into my $500 77 ford pickup, 400 engine. But first I have to check the retainer-to-guide clearance and install new springs that won't coil bind at the higher lift.
Looking for specs on the cam, I found at least two different grinds. Mine appears to be the older one, single pattern I think it's 218 @50 with 110LSA and over a half-inch lift.
Should run really strong, it's a long distance machine with 3.00 gears.
Back to the multi-pattern grind, I think Comp might have left some on the table with their selection. Have you looked into different phasing for the inner and outer lobes? Like a wider LSA on the outers, for example?

Along with the four-pattern cam, we change the lobe sep on them regularly to help with the overlap as well as changing the duration. A lot of times those figures are taken into account depending on what the flow figures are on the cylinder heads with the manifold installed. As far as your cam for the 400,

It's funny you bring up Super Shops days. My first tunnel ram and two four barrels came from there in the mid 80s. Working on bringing pride and integrity back to the Erson name. I want our customers to know when they order an Erson cam it'll be made to spec. All your feedback has been very appreciated. We're still working on the website. Please keep sending us your feedback, and we'll keep growing in the direction you need us to go.

Years ago i bought a Chet Herbert cam. On the phone he said it didn't need broken-in because it was Parkerized. Is that true or possible? If so it would be a great thing, it seems even the pros wipe out cams after a rebuild.

Parcorizing a cam gives it the surface to accept antiwear agents, normally known as zinc. If you're running a flat tappet cam, you MUST run oil with zinc in it or a zinc oil additive, and you must break the cam in the same way. Today's over the counter oils do not have zinc in them. The most popular oil I know of people using is diesel oil, or Rotella if they're not purchasing a special oil like Joe Gibbs or Brad Penn. Hope this helps.

Thanks

If anybody's in town for the Street Rod Nationals, I'd like to invite you to stop by the shop anytime from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I'd be glad to show you around Erson Cams, introduce you to the guys who grind your cams, and you can check out how a Berco grinder works in person. 8000 Old 3rd Street Rd, Louisville, KY 40214.
Thanks

I would need to know what lobe sep core you're looking for. We have several different standard journal hemi cores in stock. To answer your question more specifically, you should probably speak with Eric Bolander. He is our cam consultant. He has a full list of our core inventory, journal diameters and lobe profiles. If you would like his contact information, PM me. I'll be glad to get that to you.
Thanks

When Erson was in Mound House,NV I had them make me a 232/237 @.520 hydraulic. I had it ground 104 Lobe center advanced 3 degrees. I use rhoads variable duration lifters. My car is a 3300 lb. 67 Barracuda with .323 gears a 2500 stall and a 27.8" tall tire. I have a 410 with aluminum Diamond W2 heads. When I ran iot at Vegas, it ran 12.34 107 MPH IT idles a little rough but has great street manners. It is perfect for my combination. I wish I had removed the roll bar after I converted it to street. NO sleeper effect

Glad to hear you're happy with your cam. Haven't heard much out of anybody on here lately. If there's anything I can help anyone with, please let me know.
Thanks

What no discussion around a cam taking advantage of Chrysler's large .904" lifter diameter?
Hughes Engines makes some good points around the .904 lifter and cam design. Not everyone is a Hughes fan, but they do make a good argument here.

This summer, I plan to rebuild the 230 flathead 6 in my '57 Plymouth. I noticed earlier in the thread that you re-grind cams...I will probably be checking with you for pricing. Do you also re-grind the lifters that are in these motors? Thanks

Re: Erson Cams Quality Discussion - 03/07/15 08:50 PM
It seems most of the flat tappet cams used on our Mopars are the high rate of lift type from Hughes Engines, Lunati Voodoo series, and Comp XE series of cams. It's nice you offer the 3-bolt version of the cams too.
Went to your on-line catalog, and only small block cams are listed?
