    newman are probably the oldest company out there! most of my race/rally. fast road engines use them. the chap that dyno'd the lotus twin cam for me that does almost nothing except twincams and BDA's thats what he uses, enough said!

    Another vote for newman, they made the cam for my pinto turbo. Also have a friend that builds a lot of the engines for the 2cv race series and he uses newman for the cams in those.
