Pointed at no one in particular: I understand having a brand preference for engine parts and that's fine. In the end, an engine is an air pump. Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't know if it's a Chevrolet, Ford, Mopar , Honda, Kia, etc., etc. If you are building a motor and know exactly what you want from a camshaft, any manufacturer will build you one to suit if it's not in their catalog. I see a lot of mixing cams from one manufacturer, lifters from another, springs/retainers/locks from still another. Then toss in another manufacturer for the pushrods and another for the rocker arms. Is it any wonder that occasionally there is a failure of a part and a reluctance of a manufacturer to claim responsibility? When I was a sponsored racer Isky and Crane both required that I use their complete cam and kit as an assembly. If something went awry, they wanted to make sure it was their problem. What I'm getting at is that camshafts are the heart of a motor, which is an air pump. They tell it when and how much air to breathe in and expel out. The cam is not brand specific, that is, GM, Ford, Mopar, etc. Certainly a particular grind may work better for you with your car and other components, but whether it is made by Hughs, Comp, Isky, Lunati, Crane, Howard, etc. is just a personal preference, that's all.
