Default Synthetic Oil and Zex Cam

I just had a Zex stage 2 cam and valve springs put in and someone said that synthetic oil is bad for after market cams? Any ideas? TIA

I've never heard that, and can't even think of a reason as to why that would be. Plenty of built motors and race engines are using redline or other synthetics in their motors and gearboxes.

I have always run synthetic oil in all my motors. Never ever had a problem
