Welllllllll................I tried Comp tech today and quit waiting after 25+ minutes. Since this kind of wait doesn't seem that unusual for them, shouldn't they be able to give you some indication of the estimated wait time or number of callers ahead of you OR SOMETHING?

I will try them one more time (Lord knows why) and if I am left on hold like that this time ........ well, you know.




I called at about 8:10am east coast time .

I`ve called Isky many times and you will first get a secretary then a guy who ACTUALLY knows cams/valvetrains etc. Comp are followers.....Isky are innovators.....nuff said.

I pick my own grinds from the comp lobe catalog and order from summit at a 20% discount.

I have found that dealing with Comp Cams it is best to e-mail them, they usually respond pretty quickly to an e-mail , but I have also called their support line and not been very happy after that hour

I've never had one prob. with them. But I just call Gordon there. Not the cam help line

only takes about 1 1/2 weeks to get a custom cam made. Thats to my door

guess its who you know


Remember in here some don't think you should have a Opinion.. sad fact..

I think Comp cams are good for de tuning mopars unless you ask for a custom spec cam, the tech help are not mopar friendly at least for w5 small blocks, if you need specs for your combo the engine builders on this site are the guys to talk to, as far as the cust service at Comp its been hit or miss

Well I have to step in here and do a little defending.

I've worked with Comp for years back when I owned Mopar Engines West, and I work with them every day now since they own FAST. Sure I have a back door into them because I'm a WD, but I must say that the people I work with are very experienced and very helpful. I spent a day there just looking at the equipment and talking to the development people. All good stuff.

When I had issues with either FAST components or an occasional problem with a spring or lifter they stood behind their product and took care of it.

When I design a cam for an EFI customer, I'll send an email with the desired specs (I usually select the lobe numbers too), follow it up with a phone call, and that cam will be in the mail in 2 to 3 days.

So as someone said before it's helps to know someone to get around the front-end customer phone lines, but once you get that relationship going, Comp is one of the best suppliers I work with.

I misplaced one valve lock from Comp and it was my fault (the lock was later found stuck to a magnetic notepad clip that was on the bench). I contacted them and they sent me three of them. Then a week later, three more showed up. Then 2 weeks later, a couple more showed up. I have a hard time saying anything bad about a company who sends parts first and asks questions later.

Would I call Comp for a Mopar related parts recommendation? From past experience probably not, I don't want to use a 292H or 110 lobe separation in everything, and that's what they always say I should be using. However when I've had a little problem they stepped right up.

I rebuilt two second hand Edelbrock 600s for a dual quad setup, and the kits were missing the accelerator pump gaskets. I called Edelbrock, and the guy sent me 18 of them

Would I call Edelbrock for a Mopar related parts recommendation? From past experience probably not unless I wanted to use a Performer RPM cam and a 750 on everything.

82.4% of phone calls to Mopar Performance were answered within 300 seconds on the 29th. On the 30th, 100% of all phone calls were answered within 300 seconds. As far as taking care of customers, just ask user torkrules,
Muscle Motors, or Compuflow what their recent experiences have been.

Decent customer service does exist out there, luck plays into it also, however in this day and age nobody can really blow off customers because once they are gone, they most likely aren't coming back.
