JWT, Brian Crower, Kelford just to name a few dont even manufacture the springs they sell, they just outsource them to their specification.


AMEN

Yes, I would like cams that would make peak hp at about the same rpm as the N1 and with more midrange. I use my car for rally and I need strong midrange and a wide powerband. I also want reliability, I don't think that an engine that operate at 9500rpm will be as reliable as the one that will operate at 8500rpm.

Well the cams that JWT had in mind were not going to be for your liking anyway. Steppler was looking to make VE cams with C1 low lobes and CM6 high lobes if I remember correctly.

When I was talking to Steppler about making cams he had one cam in mind and that was it. I was begging him for 2 sets of cams.

20V Ls and N1 Hs
20V Ls and something bigger that peaked at 9000 RPMs

Why these 2 cams is because the 20V L and N1 Hs would have been the best damn all around cam. N1 cams have sold atleast 250 sets on this forum so this cam would have done the job for the average Joe. For the crazy guys with larger motors the second cam would have cut the cake.

If JWT were to make VE cams which they will not, they are going to try and make the masses happy and not the one individual.

So, if you can get some 20Ls and N1 high cams and set them straight up with something like Corys header you will have a 2L with great midrange and a peak power that pulls to 8500 just like Corys VE did at 2L.


I held onto the thought of JWT VE cams until 3 years ago and have not looked back because it aint happening. I only held on so long because of the quality of their products.

Now, did I say they were rebadging cams. Where did you see that? I made a statement on VE cams not on JWT cams. Lets stop with they dont rebadge anything though. All companies do this.

Turbos are made by ( Garrett We all know this )
Air filters are made by ( S&B )
Flywheels ( Clutch Masters )
Clutches ( Clutch Master and Nissan )
Cams blanks are bought from (----------)
Cams are made by (----------)
JWT Rods ( Crower )

All these parts are made by other companies and are sold as JWT parts everybody knows this so stop being silly. JWT finds the best parts from diffreant companies and buys in bulk. Yes, it is called buy low sell high. I am a proud perponent of this as this is called business. I love JWT to death but we are not suposed to say anything if we are unhappy or displeased with the support this company has given our comuinty for the last 8 years. JWT has lead us on for 8 years about some VE cams or some 98-99 and 00-02 SR20 ECUS that we begged and pleaded for and they said would be made over and over and over and over again.


All I am saying is some company is making it for them. As far as working on QR cams, what work did you help them on. Did you just test a few of the cams and say you like them or did you actually help in designing cam specs with them because if testing a few cams that Mr Steppler sent you and just saying you liked them, then I helped in designing them to, if this is the same thing then well I worked hand in hand with making cams to ( Bullshit on my part )

I remember when Mike K said that we could only use JWT springs and retainers with JWT cams because the springs and retainers were harmaonically designed to work specially with JWT cams on the last forum, are we to take this type of stuff seriosly. I know I ran every combination of springs and retainers from other companies and they worked great with JWT cams.

Lastly

I AM THE BIGGEST JWT FAN BUT I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS COMPLETLY BLASPHEMOUS TO SPEAK YOUR MIND ON YOUR DISPLEASURE ABOUT GOINGS ON. I WILL REMEMBER TO SHUT MY TRAP.

Travis I would leave it at that. A persons character and and honesty generally should be held at its highest. In this business we can have minor disagreements with people but................ true character comes out in the end.


I will remember to shut my trap before the Gestapo get me.


respect!

good on you for speaking your mind!
