throwing money to an organization you are aware is practicing such unethical behavior is unethical in itself (not to mention the lack of intelligence one would have to put money into their products) click on the link in 06blackg85's sig. then think about the company being referenced in the story.

That has nothing to do with ethics on my behalf.

you can get cams that have already been tested by quite a few, for cheaper and faster.

I've been there, met MEV, seen the shop, seen the business practice, and bore witness to what was done with said project.

I highly advise you to stay away from these cams.
Plus ask the others that tested the tri-fails they released and find out what happened to their motors.

I'm the only active member with them in the LSJ that I know of and I'm not impressed at all. I don't think there's really much (if any) gain over stock...

life has nothing to do with it. its the fact that there are cams out there that will make more power than stock. i don't care if my stock cams last 30+ years if theres something else out there thats gonna make a nice little increase in power over them

cobeezy got over 200 with a fully built on the bottom end, and a ported head. His car actually pulls harder than I would expect. It's more than just a ported head.

One of their crap valve springs took a **** in my head. They tried to blame it on the head not being clearanced for a "stock replacement" spring. I can't wait to take these out and replace them w/ supertech springs...

ive got his full build list. but building the bottom end shouldnt have an effect on the hp. i know he has headwork, thats wut i meant by headwork i was refferring to the beefed up valvetrain as well. his bottom end stuff is for the m62 he's got

he's got my build as a target right now. I want to see what comes out of the blower being added on, and how long his clutch lasts. Should be fun to watch.
