No you cannot buy a SoCal 9100 for this price new...thanks for your .02 cents though! :thumb:
I agree it is fair, but even a Comp alt fire is $1300 shipped, but there is other brands for similar money new...
How does "his stuff" out gun them???? Who is "them"? What has he done to prove that? Not many own a pro stock chassied drag racer to even compare to him??? Oh Banks does, but they spend 10 times in R&D what be does in multiple trucks, rails, and platforms.... So pitch his shit somewhere else! And $1275 is billet I believe, tool steel is $1400ish I believe. Thanks for your input and good luck with your sale somewhere else. I was looking at dealing with him on some parts for next season, but not likely now because I'm pretty sure you are him or someone working for him in some way... GTFOH
What a bunch A-holes... I have a quote from Lorenzo at Socal for 1400 with out shipping, the price Yellow Jacket is asking is more than fair.
I know I see fliers and advertisements for socal cams all the time......oh wait. That's just word of mouth cause its a great product. A product should speak for itself.
I'm trying to sell a cam in a forsale section, you aren't trying to help you stupid ****! Who does he have stuff in top what? None of his shit finishes top in a national level 3.0 class or 2.6 class like PPL or NTPA.... Oh, Dimitri runs his cams making big dyno spikes, not running as fast as his numbers show... Doesn't prove jack shit, post your junk in your own thread in an info section, not in someone else's FOR SALE add...
Back your BS up with some names and facts in your own thred or STFU...
Moderators feel free to delete these posts and his sales pitches in my thread if you would like, you don't have too, I'm just saying if I got out of line with my comments...
Sooooo, the best "wade" has come up with is selling his own new cam for 1200..... i still dont see how thats the same as 1050. So you can save 350 from socal or 150 from "the magnificent wade". either way, your coming out ahead
Wades tool steel cam is more expensive than the billet cam. Not by a terrible amount. His cam profiles are pretty good cams as well. I haven't personally used one if his to give testimony to it's direct comparison to So Cals cams but there is a lot of similarities in some profiles. Wade can and will offer more grinds and flexibility within a grind as well. I know most here do not like Wade and that is putting it lightly but he is very knowledgeable of what it takes to make a duramax perform at a very high level and is a fairly decent person. The 9100 cam that is being sold here is at a fair price as well. I would not give it away either. I'm almost certain it cost him much more than what he is asking. It would not be the most desirable Street camshaft though. It is a good competition camshaft.

I agree with most of above, I've spoken with Wade numerous times and will most likely do business with him someday on some parts. A pulling truck lives and dies by the turbo....head flow has some effect and cam has some effect on performance, but when running a larger single, the turbo itself is the life blood and power the engine will make... I just didn't want him "sales pitching" in my for sale thread:thumb:... I spec my own cams, not a number someone else gives me or wants to sell me... That is why I removed the SoCal 9100.
And Waglers hot street cam is more aggressive than the SoCal 9100, lol...food for thought
That is why I removed the 9100 cam in my truck. Guy did a cam for me that fit specs that he and I talked about. It's smaller than the 9100 but I believe performs better. So you know that certain specs could be the same or near the same and not perform the same because of the valve timing event being different. Most guys don't understand that and think the selling points or numbers given to them may not represent what will happen when they use that cam. Good luck with your sell. All the sled pullers are using bigger and mostly better items than the drag racers do anyways. They use the sky us the limit mentality. Drag guys are more budget minded.

A Socal 9100 is not that big in the world of camshafts. Also, more than likely the same company makes socals and ngm's cams:thumb:
Yes waglers street cam is big. I went with a comp cam from them and am stepping down to a smaller ore streetable one now.

It is pretty healthy when it comes to duration. Lift is higher than most as well. It is more than you need on a diesel truck if you want to drive it around and be efficient. Bigger is not always better and Especially when it comes to camshafts. Matching the right parts is where performance shines.
