Summit?????????????

Does anyone know if summit camshafts are good. Of, if anything they make is good. I've looked in thier catalog and they have stuff a heck of a lot cheaper. I am wanting to set one of thier Cam and lifters.

I can remember which one is was but either comp or crane makes summit's cams and lifters, they just don't have the markup.

so yes Summit's cans and lifters are fine.

jayman is right. Summit cams are made by crane. I have run the K1103 in two different engines, and they have both run quite well. One is in a 3/4 ton van towing our race car, and the other was in the first engine I built by myself without Dad's help at age 16 in a 76 Camaro. never had any problems. Hope that helps you out.
