Default Skunk 2 pro series 1 cams any issues with breaking!!!!!!?

ok so again we were at the the track and a friend running the skun 2 pro series 1 cams. he is running 460whp and about 385 torque however we ran the car all day long and did great at the end of the day we all drove home but on the way the end of the cam broke were it meets the cam gear we torqued to spec at 22 pounds using a snap on electric torque wrench so it cant be that far off. has anyone heard of this or is it just a fluke im asking cause i have a set as well im ready to install but worried that will happen i would rather use my ctr and be safe??????

I've been running them in my car for quite a while now with no problems.

I had a feeling you would be the one to reply lol ...... most times i hear of them breaking due improper install over torqued them etc i found it to be surprise it broke this way? any recommendations to possibly avoid this thought about istalling longer bolts? is that needed

Timing belt too tight? Are the cam bearing journals damaged?

all goods things to look at but yes everything was clean and no damage other than some possible bent valves overall i have impressed with power they produce on others cars im making 480whp with my b20 a 22psi on pump gas so i hope these will set me at least around 550
