treatment on stock cast iron cams, this has been
their success story for the last 13 years. You install them on your stock
untreated cam, using your race ready springs (no special motor oil required)
No Break-in and go to the races. There is No Cam Wear and you can change
cams as often as you wish using the same lifters. Although these lifters work
well on steel camshafts, save your money, you don't need a steel billet cam.
You can now run enough spring pressure to control the valve 200-250 on the seat is normal,

Racer Brown Composite Grind Cams
It's critical to the longevity of your lifters to use a cam that has been zero sparked, this basically means that extra time on the grinder until there are no longer any sparks coming from the grind stone. Most mass producers of cams just don't take the time to zero spark the cam. ALL Racer Brown Cams are Zero Sparked, that's the only level of workmanship Jim knows.
Racer Brown has developed a new cam profile that takes maximum advantage of the Composite face working diameter to achieve maximum lobe lift and lift rate with out damaging the lifter face.
We at FBO have researched and developed a Mighty Demon ETS Carburetor/distributor curve to achieve maximum performance, best idle and off idle throttle response you can achieve using this new cam profile.
This set-up is available in 3 stages for both BB and SB combinations using 650-750-850 Mighty Demons, Stage 1 or 2 FBO Distributors and the correct cam profile for your combo of compression, cylinder head and drive line.
Grinds available for BB and SB Mopar-Chevy-Ford, call to order and tech help:

FAQ:
What!!! $700.00 for a set of lifters?
Well let's look at the benefits....
1. If you take care of your engine the lifters should last a lifetime.
2. Wiping out a cam lobe will cost $1,500 to $3,000 or more depending on how much damage you have to the crank, pistons and block, you could lose everything and have to start all over.
3. You can change the cam without changing lifters.
4. Your valve springs will last 2-3 maybe 4 times longer, further reducing maintenance costs.
5. Reduced harmonics in the engine further extends the life of your engine bearings, timing chain, oil pump, rod and main bolts, helps reduces cap walk and valve wear.
Do I have to mate the lifters to correct lobe if I change cams?
No, oil them up and drop them in any hole, they'll work fine.
What about break in procedures?
There is none, you can break them in right in the burn-out box, No, I repeat No Break-in required.
We do recommend a generous coat of Mondello's engine assembly lube, just basic engine building procedures.
Special lubricants?
No, just good oil like *Torco, Brad Penn or Lucas and we always recommend using *Joe Mondello's (Yup, the real Joe Mondello) engine oil additive as per instructions on the can. Using good oil as suggested is not a special treatment for the lifters it's just common sense.
Do I use the same valve lash adjustments?
Yes, the Racer Brown Composite custom grind cams will come with a cam card that specs spring pressures and valve lash settings. If your going to use another manufacturers cam then follw their instructions.
Where do I find springs with pressures like you require?
We have a good selection of springs for almost all applications readily available at very competitive pricing. We use springs from Racer Brown, Comp, Isky, Crower or others to ensure you get the correct spring for your application or you can simply get the spring pressures from us and purchase your own springs from your manufacturer of choice.
What if I damage one?
It's very difficult to damage a lifter, but if you should have a catastrophic engine failure and a lifter gets broken somehow you can order them one at a time. If the face of the lifter gets damaged we can resurface it for you.
