Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.
1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.
2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.
3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.
4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.
5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.
6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.
7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.
8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.
9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.
10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.
11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.
12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.
FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:
Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.
Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.
Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.
Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.
Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.
TIPS:
-Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.
-Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.
-If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.
-Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.

CompCams grind #3326/3307 HR116+2. I don't think many people ran that cam so you'd be better off ordering a custom cam with the sbc spec.
I've been trying to order it. That grind number apparently no longer exists though and the comp cams rep I've been talking with hasn't been helpful at all. Been working on that discussion for a few weeks now....figured I would check and see if anyone has one kicking around as I'm not sure I'll ever get results with CompCams.
I bought an overkill SBC cam from a local up here in Ontario....the guy said Comp Cams was very hesitant to grind the cam as it was not a grind they came up with. He had to get Will involved to get Comp to grind the cam!
You may have good luck asking Will to chime in with Comp to have it made for you.
Good luck!
PS. I have not ran the motor yet with the cam so I cannot give any first hand experience with it!

does it have to be comp cams that does the grind? theoretically cam motion could do it?
IIRC it was designed around a specific CompCams lobe.
I will try shooting Will an email. I know it's his busy time of the year though.

You order it direct from Comp Cams, is how I got my Overkill BBC... Unless you are just trying to get it cheap (used).
It is a Comp Cam Lobe design (4x4) and has agressive ramp rates. If you have their catalogue, you'd match up the lobes (3206, 3307) 116lsa, 114icl (HR116+2) is a .316 lift 214/[email protected] duration, 134/141@200 duration
its not a stock item, but give them the specs and they'll grind it...

I've been trying to order it from Comp, but the grind numbers are no good anymore I should have mentioned in my original post.
I gave them specs from the Overkill website, and never heard back from the rep I was working with. Been over a week now.
The only thing they offered to do for me was grind the one 3800 cam they have in their grind database, which I am not interested in, and the rep couldn't understand why, even after I told him it's nowhere near the same cam I'm looking for.

The grind #'s are their lobes, their design, they don't expire...
They don't grind 4x4 lobes?
I would find that hard to believe (not good anymore) and think you are dealing with someone who doesn't know what it is you want... Just my opinion. The "GRIND" is done by machine with the spec punched in... Absolutely ridiculous to be told they can't take a blank L67 cam and grind it to spec! Overkill doesn't mean anything to them and don't mention it, just call, state you want a custom cam for an GM L67/3800 and the Spec's are 3326 intake, 3307 exhaust, 116*lsa with 114*icl (+2) and there is no freakin way they should say, geee, we don't have that any more because they don't, you're making it... It's BS! You call it, they grind it!

Haven't mentioned Overkill once. Just gave them the grind specs from the website.
I agree it's BS, but at this point it's the answer Ive been given. He was going to "look into things again", but that was over a week ago with no response since. I need to see if I can get a different rep. Been talking to the current one for overy a month with no results.
As Bake82 said above, the guy he bought his cam from had to get Will involved to get it ground because comp wasn't real interested in grinding it.
If Bake82 ends up not selling the cam he has, I'll contact Comp again, assuming I don't hear back before then.

This was the cam they said they could offer, for anyone wondering: http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=1075&sb=2
Haven't heard back since I explained to them that it's not like what I'm looking for at all.

I'll know this week on my SBC. Should be Wednesday at the latest!

Cool. No rush.
I may end up re-engaging with Comp eventually for the Big Blower Cam anyway. Contemplating changing to that cam on my Regal. Running the Xtreme Energy cam from 3800performance right now.

Although that cam is close, it's not Overkill's spec.
compounding that... From Comp Cams current 2016 catalogue... Go to their site, download it yourself!
XTREME 4X4™ HYDRAULIC ROLLERS
Due to the allowances of lower engine speed, these designs are slightly faster than the original Xtreme Energy™ Hydraulic Rollers. Great low and mid-range torque. They are our most aggressive hydraulic roller lobes and run well in street, off-road and four-wheeling.

You can see, the LOBES are very much available as it is listed in their current catalogue! So again, it's BS, you make the call and escalate it till you get someone who isn't pushing BS your way and order the cam you want. So something isn't right...

I've been curious about this cam. But yeah if the guy is feeding you bs, talk to someone else. I have a custom cam in my GN. Called them told them the specs I wanted, done.
