I looking into cams got no money now. But how did you like them compared to stock? What was the major difference? Did the car rev accelerate faster? Do you accept credit cards or pay pal?

Take a look at the dyno charts of stock or near stock Preludes here http://www.hondaprelude.com/resource...eets.asp?gen=5
Then compare it with my dyno chart. The top end isn't all that high on my chart but look at the mid range. There is a big difference with and wthout these cams. I made the same horsepower at 2500rpm than stock Preludes at 5000rpms.

I accept paypal if you are interested.

This is directly from Crower's site.

Crower H22 DOHC VTEC Camshafts
The VTEC cores for the Honda H22 are now available to the general public! Crower, with over 50 years of camshaft experience, offers a wide variety of designs with the most aggressive ramp speeds in the industry. These are premium Crower cores, NOT FACTORY REGRINDS. Crower is the cam choice of top H22 racers like Stephan Papadakis, Jeremey Lookofsky and Brauning Motorsports. They run $680.26 for the pair. Custom, proprietary grinds also available. Add $100.

Ok, sometimes that is true. but sometimes it's worth going with the best possible brand because of QUALITY. My main source of frustration with all these stupid kids who want fast and furious cars is that they only care about price and not quality. good example, they think: why buy c-west body kit when i can get a knock off for a few hundred? QUALITY. the knock off wont fit, have defects, and crack. This is the same with internals. for example JUN has built honda motors with over 100k on them. what about Crower? do they even care? So, why waste your money on shitty products APC,OBX,Weapon R (i am not saying crower is shitty)? Bite the bullet, save, and get a product thats actually worth something. I am sick of kids complaining about their aftermarket stuff that doesnt work right. they expect something for nothing. i think strongly that in this business, for the most part, you truly do "get what you pay for"! thats why I have that quote.

Uh. I'm pretty sure Crower has been building performance products longer than Jun... I don't see why they'd intentionally produce crappy products - even in something that is for the moment not a major part of their business.

I do not think crower produces crappy products. I never said that. Just that they are not the "best" brand you can get. In fact, i have had nothing but good expirences with crower products.

I could do $375 Shipped but that's it since I just had a 5spd swap done on my SS,and I'll have to get gears and tuning.

I'm not lowballing,I just spent 2500 on the swap so I'm pretty tapped out right now.
