Heads will be shipping back next week... behold the before and after. The guy said these heads really open up after .200" of lift and said it was a shame I couldn't run a cam with .850" a lift. I'll see some benefit since the max lift on the cams now is .386"... if I bought the CAT Cam race cams I could see .421", but not sure if its worth the money.

Someone on NECO a while ago was attempting to sell a set of CAT cams and they were cheap! Not sure if he ever managed to sell them. I'll see if I can find the thread.

they are sitting in my closet

[Blackcoog]

Are you going to use as the four legs on a custom coffee table?

[jaged]

norcal has a set as well he was trying to sell

[CSVT#49]

Look what I found... I'll see if they ever got made or if they are even available for purchase. If anything else it sure is a pretty picture

bow chicka bow wow

Those cams supposedly were built by FMS, but I've contacted there sales manager and he had no clue. He is still looking into it, but doesn't look good. No idea who 'Smoothlinez' is either. Best I could find was an outfit out of Cali that did pretty good work with 240Z's.

Looks like a guy who worked at Smoothlinez was a member here back in 2006 (name "Smoothlinez").... though not really relevant. It seems that the owner has since changed the company name to Race Precision (http://www.raceprecision.com). While they do offer some noble parts, they don't have cams listed for sale.

I found a post on the noble forums about some heat shield that was made by Smoothlinez (also circa 2006). The owner (Eli) commented... and that url was in his signature.
