Franklin already make them... I see a lot of bitching about Franklin on this forum but they've been around for years & are always busy. The racing community is very small so if their product was no good they would've been out of business ages ago. Several of us have run Franklin cams & they've always been great, any aftermarket cam will need at least some shimming.

Somebody in the USA needs to give the Franklin Stage 2 a go... never seen them beaten by N1s on an unopened engine.

Kelford have also said they will make 20V/N1 with standard base circles if somebody sends them some 20Vs to profile... why nobody is approaching them is beyond me.

I've been & gone with the VE in the last 2 1/2 years & there are still folk waiting for a magic cam bullet ignoring the 2 companies who have the cam blanks & will build anything they ask for. If you don't pick a horse & jump on it soon, the VE will be an antique!


Kelford made a custom grind for my friend's shop car (a white EK Hatch putting down 630whp), and they were very receptive. They're a very big name in my opinion, and have been doing grinds for years for other car makes. It would seem logical to send them a set of 20v's if you guys are looking for something custom...

Yep, Franklin have the profiles & can make 20V/N1 for people. Kelford don't yet have the 20V profile as far as I know but have the N1 profile.

i'd personally rather purchase from Kelford than Franklin, but depending on how long im keeping the car, and funds, may try some different options in the future.
Can always put the N1's back in.

Anyone can call/email Franklin and order them now, unfortunately the exchange rate isn't as nearly as favorable as it was in early March.

750NZD + Freight. They have the profile its just a matter of asking for that profile when you order. I don't think they list the 20v/n1 profile on their website
Nissan - Camshaft Profiles
