Holy crap. That is not good. I have had issues before with IE products. Similarly to you, Jeff and his team did the right thing, and made efforts to correct issues.

B35 cam is great cam all around. Im making 560whp on 19psi, pulling all the way to 6500rpm.

I should post an update -- I ended up returning the cams back to Ireland Engineering and ordered a new 276 road cam from Dbilas. The head is assembled and I'm just about ready to put it back in the car. I'll update the thread with once everything's back together and running!

Glad to hear they took them back, but bad news since I think they were the ones with a knock off of Paul Burke's cams.

A very bad Paul Burke knock off.its not easy to make the same finish and the same accurate measurements if you don't have the original Paul Burke cutting profiles, Paul Burke camshafts are made with a superior material that will break your rocker arm before it will be scratched(it has a polished lobe ) if you don't know what you're doing with the balance of the spring.
I don't buy from IE, a lot of the stuff they sell is just cheap Chinesium . You can see the same products at Alibaba and I suspect the blanks are Chinese too.

my Paul Burke N45 camshaft will be ready next month.

Might I ask where you're getting it from? My understanding is Paul had some serious health conditions and was out of business.

A cam from Paul would have been my first choice. I thought he was out of business too.

A schrick 284 on a 8:1 motor works very well. Don't knock it until you try it Gives it a bit more mid range and it doesn't start falling on its face after 5000.

Old videos from that setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeyW_jyYyu4

Had that setup with headers and a Korman chip for a few years. Can beat it on it relentlessly (once you upgrade the rockers) and don't have to worry about fuel/pinging.

Good thread Code, sub’d it was very diligent of you to take your time with this, I’m afraid I rushed in a bit when choosing a cam, my M30B34 needed a head refresh and I decided to use a 270 camshaft from IE, the cam appeared to be polished with no apparent grooves but only time will tell if it holds up…

Looking forward to hearing how your engine runs after installing the Dbilas 276 camshaft, please keep the updates coming.

Hey Seeker!

The engine is finished, and I got stuck for a bit installing the new evaporator. Just about done, and I'll have it all buttoned up. The 276 cam sounds aggressive at idle but is very drivable, I did a few test drives before doing the interior console work for the evap and expansion valve. I'll take some video after I get it back together.

I bet you are excited, I’m excited to see and hear your car run!

Resurrecting this thread. I've had the car back together for a while now and have been troubleshooting two issues, lopey/rough idle and running rich. Would a 276 camshaft be enough to cause the engine to lope along at idle and shake the car? It isn't a constant blub blub blub, it will go into a gallop on occasion and then settle back into the lopey blub blub blub of an idle again. Also smells heavily of sulfur.
