[QUOTE="93Cobra#2771, post: 4132748, member: 4599"] I regard Jay Allen, Ed Curtis, and Buddy Rawls as well respected custom cams gurus. From what I've seen, Ed's stuff is a little more race oriented. Not just in cam, but in supporting equipment (1-3/4" headers for a mild stroker street car, for instance). I don't care for Ed's attitude on the forums he posts on, but that's just a personal preference for me. If I were in the custom cam market, Buddy Rawls would be my choice, with Jay Allen being a close second. Both of those guys are very helpful, personable, and have winning results as well. On to the factory rev limiter - It does indeed pull fuel, but not like you think. Once the rev limiter is activated, the eec pulls ALL the fuel from every other cylinder, essentially making that cylinder a dead cylinder, as opposed to being a lean cylinder. Unless you have a leaky injector, or are overly rich when the rev limiter hits, you aren't going to hurt your motor with the factory rev limit. In fact, a lot of people like a fuel limiting rev limiter, as opposed to an ignition type rev limiter (ignition type throws fuel in a cylinder and sends it on out the exhaust unburnt, giving some people worry about cylinder wash). Anyhow, I digress. Glad you figured out your problem. [/QUOTE]
