From what ive read around here, JBP's customer service doesnt exist, at all, and their cams have not been proven to work at all either. Some sort of disaster went down years ago when they first released the LE5 cams but the deets on that are somewhat vague, from that point on I have never heard or read anything else regarding them. And the attempts I made several months ago to get information about purchasing their triflow cams was never answered. ZZP is the only one with LE5 cams that are actually proven, but they no longer carry them as they cannot get the cores from comp anymore. So your only other option is an LNF exhaust cam like what I did in my thread, or regrinds, and if you go with regrinds, you can only go so big before you will have issues with the lash adjusters (see my thread) and stay far away from delta camshaft (see my thread).

I never considered jbp as a reputable vender, idk why they're even on this site? Nobody uses them for anything if I recall... Perhaps you can send your stockers to comp cams or crower for a regrind. If you do cams you should just upgrade everything though. Springs, retainers, port and pollish, the works.

this board is owned by the internet brands corporation, if JBP pays for sponsorship, they get it, regardless. I cant believe JM auto is still allowed to post here as well. lol
