Is it feasible to metal spray a cam?

You should be able to have them grind a cam like this for the slant also. Have you figured out the lifters yet? How much lift are you trying to get?

I'll call Comp again, but the last time I talked to them they had NO rollers for the /6 motor.
That was about a year ago...

I only need .500" lift. This is a race-only app, so I am not much concerned about longivity.

I'll let you know what they say.

Thanks for the info!!!
