Sash, sorry for the slow responce

Rather than me, an unknown here in Australia asking a maker in New Zealand to supply a set of cams to a chap in Canada that is going to test them for an American magazine, I think the better chance of getting cams supplied from any maker or vendor would be for the Tech editor of Modified magazine to approach the manufactures setting out the scope & size of the proposed test, apox publication date & who else has been invited to submit cams.

They then can then make a commercial decision as to weather or not to participate.

I would also try some of the vendors on this site that appear to have done OK from sales generated from this site & may genarate more sales as result of these tests.

With any luck, I should have some numbers this week. We have been fighting a hard start issue and then a drive by wire throttle that would just quit and then work. I changed out the throttle body and it seems to work but had no available dyno time on Saturday. This motor has 11:1 pistons and JWT C9 cams with Motec ecu.

I should get the car tomorrow. I do not have the dyno sheet yet but I was told it makes a strong 45 degree climb to 300 whp and flattens out to redline.
It is not that far off from the full race motor I had last year.

Tuned long tubes for each camshaft tested as well? Or at least C8Rs?

My guess is they went with the nismo cams. They have a video which list their parts from their car and at the end of the video it says nismo "street cams". im guessing that is nismo r-tune.

Don't read too much in to that I think they have had a set of Nismo cams on that car for some time now.

OK. This tease crap is killing me. No article last month in Modified, and I still haven't gotten this month's issue in the mail. Meanwhile, I'm putting together pieces for my build. I can't seem to find any good dyno info on cams, either. Sasha must have a gag order. C'mon Sash, give us something to work with here!

why wait for the results? just buy JWT cams and then you will be happy when the results come out... plus buying the real deal (instead of a copy of JWT) the results are better

You guys should understand that tests like this are extremely labor intensive on a Z, and given that last week was a holiday week in Canada, and it being summertime (vacation time in general) I'm sure they are busy with a bunch of stuff. Not to mention, just getting some of the cams needed for a test like this is not necessarily an overnight affair. Then you have to do the tests, analyze the results, edit it all together content wise, and publish it. I wouldn't automatically expect published results within a 45 day window.

We were involved in supplying a couple sets cams a few years ago for an Evo camshaft test with a major shop. All in that test took about 4 months to do as I recall, and cams on an Evo takes a fraction of the time that it does on a Z.
