The final day of the cam challenge update.

[@jeffwooton7138]

Thank you for all your hard work sir. You may claim not to be Superman, but you did Superman work.

[@johnginnitti4452]

Eric, I'm pretty sure that you can leave out the .."I'm no Superman " from the end of your videos......not true after this test. This was huge undertaking for one man and it was a lot of fun and very educational to watch..........being a channel member is soooooo worth the money....thank you for all your hard work and being so candid with all the information you share with us..........all the best to you Sir!!

[@mhardy216]

Congrats to all competitors for having the balls to send a camshaft in! Im sure most of us here would be happy to run any 1 of the 23 cams on our builds.

[@MarkSperlik]

Eric, thanks for all your integrity and exhaustive hard work and resolve. Bobby from NK Performance is also a cam designer for Cam Motion ----- get this, Bobby is only 26 years old ---- great job kid!!! Congrats‼️ 🧐👍🇺🇸

[@MrAPCProductions]

Will be very interesting to see the power spread sheets from all 23 cams.

[@troydspain1099]

You don't port cast iron heads .... but you are Superman!!!

[@RevSearch]

Amazing how close the cams were percentage wise. The average of the average HP was 543.6, the average of the average TQ was 517.6. 17 cams were within 1% of the average hp average, 18 cams were within 1% of the average tq average. Unless chassis setup and driver ability was identical you might not see that on the track. NK was 2.6% over the average hp average, 2.6% over the average tq average. No one was more than 2% under the average hp and tq averages.

[@GoPetty43]

Thank you. This is the question I came here to ask.

[@slopoke22]

@RevSearch this is why I didn't enter. I knew all the cams would be very similar. But the lobes that are serious stand out a lil bit. Exactly how I thought this would go down. But good on Eric for doin this.

[@stusue9733]

@@slopoke22 You of course made this statement before the fact...

[@slopoke22]

@stusue9733 yeah, somewhere, why? You tryna hate or somethin

[@stusue9733]

@@slopoke22 Not at all. I just wouldn't like to think someone with no skin in the game would make something up after the event.

[@paulbalzarano]

You seem worn completely out..that being said, the amount of information that will come from this must be making you giggle. Awesome job, congrats to all that competed

[@racingthemachine3364]

Awesome, we appreciate everyone involved!

[@coreykallmbah7580]

After looking at all these results I’ve come to the concconclusion that the majority of car guys are probably over spinning their engines and would possibly , improve thier drag strip times by shifting sooner , nice job to all the competitors and thanks for putting in the work Eric . That was quite a task

[@bartpang]

Normally you'll run quicker shifting 500-1000 rpm over the power peak depending on rpm drop of the shifts.

[@stusue9733]

Would these be considered drag cams? (of course you can drag anything)

[@eb972]

Thanks for all your hard work.

[@edsmachine93]

Good morning Eric. You certainly have been busy and you look tired. Nice fair tests and evaluations. Have a great day.👍☕️

[@malcolmshaw2609]

Fantastic project, I do hope that you can do it again for a different engine manufacturer and spec. Thanks for all your hard work 👍🏻👏🏻

[@mikasantos3774]

When you get home would be nice to make a vid with all the entries hp and torque numbers I think that would be interesting great vids Eric been watching your stuff for a long while now

[@WeingartnerRacing]

I will make more in depth ones.

[@jasonstormoen]

Eric, you look like you woke up and took off. Congrats to everyone! Solid roller next. Very good job testing. Very good information, and the live feed was always on point when I had a min to check in.

[@XLXBhorsepower]

Awesome! Congrats to all the competitors and a great learning lesson

[@charlestrigg9049]

Congratulations my friend.. it's about time I do some more business with you.. thx for all you do! Go Profiler!!!!! :)

[@kblank3034]

Great Video, thanks for sharing the results. You sound very tired so get some rest.

[@themacgyverinstitute5340]

You look beat !👌 great work and congrats to the competitors and deserving winner .

[@urwaycomputers9896]

Eric you are da man! Much respect to you. Thank you! It was worth way more than 20.00 to see the results. Can you do it again but for street? There are a lot more street drivers wanting increased torque and hp across the entire band than 4K and up.

[@therealhip9321]

Really nice. Hopefully everyone learned something from this and can use what they learned.

[@r6duck]

Super job with the challenge Eric. Great information.

[@keithparks107]

Thanks!

[@alexgillies4183]

Great job Eric! That was an epic cam shoot-out and should keep stimulate a lot of discussion about the results. I was surprised by how many cams in the mid-pack posted similar good results; it makes me think that most competitors in that range knew what they were doing.

[@JuanHernandez-uk3so]

Thank you for the time you put into the cam shootout. Looks exhausting.

[@warby8138]

Great job on this! How did the results compare to the simulated results?

[@jengel451]

Dude you look tired. Go ahead and take tomorrow off. ;)

[@robertsrt]

I’ve never even heard of NK Performance but I think ill be a customer soon. Lol

[@wayneskelly4297]

Hoping ya do more of this stuff. Great job!

[@boydw1]

Look forward to seeing the graphs.

[@timothythomas1737]

Thanks Eric!!!

[@mitchm275]

excellent job! too bad it wont keep the know it all arm chair never built an engine, only know what they read/hear people quiet. we know they wont. now they are even more educated in more stupidity to bark about. obviously there are guys out there that KNOW what they are doing. as NK spokesperson said on here, gentle ramps obviously work well. so many cams so close in specs. cant help but wonder how much of the differences is related to ramps being slightly too aggressive.

[@andrewcammer2535]

Thanks for the testing man - good stuff!

[@bigbad253]

After an event like this, yes, you are Superman.

[@james10739]

Can't wait to see the graphs i don't know if you will show all them i assume most of them will be close like how myluch difference was there from like 1st to second or even last

[@nickjones5582]

Nice job on getting this done! Timing cover threads on that block are probably tired lol

[@peskypeet]

Good job E! Good job Bumpstick Billy! I'd like to know more about Billy & Joe Carroll.

[@drcolster]

ERIC, You say your not Superman, but you have just done 23 cam changes and dyno's..in a week.....Looks like you are SUPERMAN....

[@packhousetv]

Agreed, dude looks more tired than brakes on a garbage truck

[@moparsareeverything1980]

Nice job Eric

[@1967davethewave]

Cool challenge. I can't wait to see the final results of the Howards and reground Erson. It's always nice to see if my off the shelf cams are worth a damn.

[@quick-performance-services]

i just posted.. the same reason..( off the shelf ) .think I'm just missing a good head porter

[@OldManRising]

Did you do a control and re-test the Texas speed cam after all this testing?? Thanks for the work you look spent!!!

[@jasonstormoen]

That was live today

[@doomman700]

NK for the win, sweet, Cam Motion I suspect

[@aslacker]

Bobby designs them, Cammotion grinds.

[@paulshurmon138]

Thanks for the video.

[@xozindustries7451]

Great job! I’m excited to see the power numbers

[@salvatorehayes2753]

Awesome! Thanks For Making This Happen!!

[@chevyrc3623]

Thank for everything Eric that's pretty and yeah I think you better sit down tomorrow and relax or have a partys with stone cold broken skull beers with some friends saying yay we did it lol. But man I keep missing the lives stuff because of work and yesterday I was on both Sprint cars so dang it missed it again oh well.

[@Tom-z1q]

Thank You!

[@seanb250]

All I want to know is how far down the list did David Vizard place?

[@doomman700]

How far down the list is not nearly as important as the spread. If he is 15th but the spread is only 5hp that’s pretty good.

[@slopoke22]

​Yeah because all of em are nearly the same​@doomman700

[@RevSearch]

2% lower than the average HP average. 4% lower than the winner's average hp.

[@V8Lenny]

​@@doomman700he was 15 hp down in average power which in real life is the only number that matters. 23 down in average torque.

[@rolandtamaccio3285]

​@@V8Lenny,,, where's Brian Salter with that reference ,,, ? ,,, he was my pic ,,, !

[@scottwilkie8891]

Good work!

[@samstewart4807]

Hi, Will you relase all the redults? What is the H.P./torque spread between the best and worst???

[@orr89rocz]

Did you rerun the baseline cam? Did it repeat?

[@rolandtamaccio3285]

,,, Yes .

[@robertellison4691]

​@@rolandtamaccio3285What were the before and after numbers?

[@rolandtamaccio3285]

​@robertellison4691 ,,, yes , that he should run the test cam again ; however he's probably a little burnt ,,, !

[@jasonstormoen]

He rerun it on live feed.

[@TehShawns]

Awesome, thank you!

[@danielash9834]

Good to see DV’s cam was basically the same as the winner So his principals are sound.

[@fivestar8337]

😂😂😂 The Vizard leg humpers are delusional

[@alexgillies4183]

Well, sort of...he did predict the winner would be on a 108 LSA, the advance is the same and intake duration close but NK's exhaust duration is way more.

[@KE458S]

It was ranked 14th

[@richdouche8253]

​@@fivestar8337How so? How are they delusional?

[@fivestar8337]

@richdouche8253 tell me how 238/259 is "basically the same" as 236/244. Just make up whatever you want to believe I guess?

[@sleeeper88]

The winning cam needs to be tested again after the engine has had so many pulls to see if it repeats the numbers.

[@WeingartnerRacing]

We tested a cam as a standard before and after the test and it repeated.

[@sleeeper88]

@WeingartnerRacing awesome!! Man I was bummed, I saw this to late to enter!!!

[@realazliving]

Hey folks, Eric Weingartner doesn’t port iron heads, he is a super man though. Knocked that test out like a champ. Congrats to everyone that entered a cam. There was not one crap cam on the list.

[@jcnpresser]

Wonder how much hp difference there was between the first and the last. I’d imagine they were all pretty close.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Higher up in the comment section Eric said 50.

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

Fantastic

[@marktrevisan4431]

I can hear DV crying now !

[@oldblueaccord2629]

I didnt think the power difference would be more than 8-12 horsepower. Im pretty shocked by that.

[@ecc5119]

Cast iron is Superman good.

[@23steph13]

Does Joe Carol have a youtube channel?

[@RICKANDREWSKI]

So are cams used 3 bolt ? or single

[@WeingartnerRacing]

3

[@futten3230]

lol when ya finish off with sayin ya dont port iron heads i guess someone has asked recently

[@peskypeet]

Nope. That's pretty much the end of every video for a while now.

[@rudyjhughes]

Where did David end up

[@WeingartnerRacing]

10 or 11th

[@KE458S]

14

[@DarrinDeBoer]

Stud

[@lte008]

How far apart were all the cams in HP from last to first?

[@WeingartnerRacing]

50

[@joshuashuck3994]

Whats the optimum LSA to build an engine thats fueled by the tears of vizard fanboys?

[@Carl_Jr]

Tact. Try it sometime.

[@richdouche8253]

​@@joshuashuck3994 Clearly the optimum LSA was the one both NK (winner) and David chose to submit. I find it funny all the Vizard haters get their panties in a bunch because they can't prove his lobe separation angle theory wrong. Lol. And damnit all, NK arrived at the exact same LSA spread as David did. Weird!?

[@NAAlltheway245]

Did anyone else not get day 3 results?

[@Red9GearHeads]

Given the amount of difficulty he’s had and explained having I’d imagine if you’re missing something he’ll get y’all straight when he gets a few extra mins.

[@DragpackRacing]

What run was Ak performance cam? How do you know the motor wasn’t in better health when you tested there cam. I mean every time you run the motor it gets alil weaker technically correct.

[@V8Lenny]

@@DragpackRacing retested with base cam, 1 hp difference.

[@mikediamond1522]

Not necessarily. More use, less friction! Mike .

[@robertsrt]

😂😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@DragpackRacing]

@@V8Lenny but ik at one point SRE was in 2nd and NK performance only got 1st by 1.5hp so if the margin of victory is only 1hp then you get my point.

[@V8Lenny]

@@DragpackRacing in peak hp.

[@82cabalero]

i am curious about david vizard

[@stusue9733]

Not curious enough to read the 68 other comments though?
