they are regrinds

they are regrinds

And whats wrong with that ?

There has not been anytalk of anyone having a problem out of them and they have been on market long enough for someone to have a problem if they where going to ......So DKS is good

 

[my98GST]

I just wouldn't want to spend that much money on regrinds.... not to mention that you have a chance to lower the base circle how ever many thousandths and then create lash.... plus i'm not too sure on how well they would perform.

Well its either try these or pay 800 bucks for some hks. I did notice the fp cams but they say you need dual springs and there spring kit is like 365 bucks. I wish these damn bc were not sold out. I will probably try the dks3 and hope they work well. I know that ffwd has been around along time and people trust them.

Do you guys know if the springs are backordered too? I oredered the cams and got those right away , I ordered the springs last week and nothing yet. I guess I'll give it till the end of the week before I phone my vendor and ask.

Thanks for the response. Seems I spoke too soon, when I got home from work last night the springs were waiting on my bed .

You only need dual valve springs for the X series of the FP cams, the regular version will work fine with the stock valvetrain.

Well I want a cam that will still be alive at 8500rpm. I was thinking the fp3s on the website they say you need the duals. I may go this route anyway, I am torn if i should go fp route or try the dks.

 

[2gAWDTalon]

uhmm arnt the FP3's for a stroker? I think they die off in the upper RPMS...

Tom why you parting out your new recently aquired setup? It made great power, are you going bigger?

Any update on when the next batch will be ready?

 

[maperformance]

Still showing April/May but it's getting closer! Now even the springs/retainers are on backorder!

 

[fwdeclipse]

Are you guys gonna get a shitload of them when you do or is there a waiting list I should get put on.

 

[maperformance]

we are most definitely buying as many as we can get our hands on

 

[JWoodley]

Count me in for a set of 280s.

Hi... How come for 97-99 7 bolts we have to do the CAS MOD??

Brian Crower's New Street / Strip Camshafts are designed for those looking for more power without having to upgrade the valve-train. These 272 cams will have a slight lope at idle and are designed to drop right in. 97-99 7 Bolt motors do require CAS mod for proper performance.

What exactly are they talking about??? what mod?

Thanks!
