I was just checking out different camshafts online and I came across some camshafts made by Blackworks. I have used Skunk,blox,buddyclub, and even toda and liked them all. but I have never seen these before..

what do you think? im just wondering... thanks...........

never heard of blackworks... nor have i seen anybody from the drag racing or road racing community using them. make's me wonder if they are another company copying cam profiles from one of the more popular brands.

I'd be more worried about the quality of the product rather than the specs they used.

BigBlock22

i would too, i was trying to make a point that they're probably knock-offs... probably manufactured in china

MKTurismo

Them being manufactured in China has nothing to do with quality.
Skunk 2 does manufacturing in China, as well as HKS, Tomei, Honda, Toyota etc., etc.

I would like to know about these also...

Based on the website i would say they are a fairly new company???
They seem mid-high priced for there stuff

Possibly a local company that went national
who knows

look at the specs on the "pro" cams, they happen to be the same specs as the skunk2 pro cams. just anther knock-off company

BigBlock22

your right and i am aware of this. as long as the metal is going through the same treatment process and is made of the same properties it shouldn't matter. but sometimes it does make a difference. so, you mean they (those companies you listed) buy material manufactured in china??? perhaps the actual grinding is done here in the U.S. seems like everything is going over sea's. i bought a gerber knife the other day which is suppose to be american made but the steal is manufactured in china.
looks like you started a new account?

I have been looking around and I can not find anyone's reviews on these cams....

Just look at their part lineup, looks like a complete rip off of the Skunk2 line.

This is a popular brand on eBay. One of the biggest distributors for these products is RMS Distributing aka eBay user ID: jdminstock. Two of my buddies have been running their cam gears for the past 6 months. No issues so far. Not really sure about their cams though. From the looks of it, their products are similar to Skunk2 & Blox Racing. I'd personally stick with these brands instead.

By the way, their throttle bodies are not too shabby. In fact, I think they nicely built with quality in mind.

I'm sure the pink color must add like 5hp at least.

They have a gold throttle body too

It raises the impression ratio.

Look on there website and check out the $800 t1 wanabe catch can and the $850 manifolds. Quality doesn't seem as bad as others but they do seem to just be copying everyones designs.

MKTurismo

LoLz, that was clever

Nope, this is my first and only HT account.
By the way I get and agree with your point stated above, its just a common misconception that things manufactured overseas are poor quality.

Scott_Tucker

I was afraid someone would give the response I normally get from that line, "How does that raise the compression ratio?"

I'm impressed.

It pays to read carefully and comprehend I guess, especially when reading a joke or hook-line
