I guess I should clarify what I meant.

Buying a cam from a custom cam grinder like Delta is *usually* going to be
more expensive than buying a stock Federal-Mogul cam as part of a rebuild
kit from the likes of Northern Auto Parts Warehouse.

Delta cam may not have a price difference between the different cams they
offered you, but I would think they are generally going to be more
expensive than buying an "off-the-shelf" cam from Northern Auto Parts
Warehouse.  I think the price of the cam (as part of the rebuild kit I
bought) was right at about $60.00.  So if you paid only $60.00 for a cam
from Delta, that's a great deal.  But at least I saved paying the local
taxes by getting my cam through Northern.

But don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to steer anyone away from buying a
cam wherever the please.  I'm happy with what I bought and where I bought
it (so far).  I a guy needs or wants a custom cam, then I'm sure Delta is a
great place to go.  I decided I didn't and don't need a custom cam.

John
