IPD “Billet” Cam Concerns - 2024 Edition!

For comparison, here is the cam I replaced with the IPD cam. It was on the car when I bought it and it survived 9 races with us. Same long periods of storage.

I've seen some oem cams sit for LONG time and not visibly corrode.

Are you running e85 or gas?

What cam do you run in your rally car(s)? I need something that can live at 4000-6000 all day long. The IPD starts feeling week at 5500.

IPD turbo cam with upgraded valve springs. Seems to be ok. V16T or similar would be my next suggestion.

Of note: they sit for a long time (sometimes 6 months) and don’t look like your cam. Though if I remember correctly you’re close to the ocean..?
 
So at this point, what are people thinking about these cams? Avoid? Just run it? I ask because I have one sitting on the shelf I've been planning to put in for a year now but haven't gotten to.
 
I bought two B cams a few years ago, both had only minor discoloration put one in and it's been running good since with normal wear, the other cam has been sitting on a shelf in my garage for 4 years with no visible change, same with some LS cams. Just observations, based on this thread I would never run an IPD can unless it was in a motor I didn't care if it survived, but I'd never put one into a newly built motor with valuable new parts.

I would run it, just shim it properly and keep an eye on it.
