The profab header is a copy of a tri-y header design... the best way to find out what kind of power it will make is to look at the original design it was copied from.

The blox cams are also copies of many original cam designs, the most common ones being Skunk. Again if you want to know how they'll perform, just look at what they're copied from. There's more than enough documented information on this site from people who have used them if you look for it.

Something you should keep in mind when buying copies is that fit, finish and durability are often issues as well as difficulty in tuning for other things. Technical support and warranty support are often difficult if not impossible to get as well...but hey, at least your saving a few bucks right?

The Blox cams are their own design but are now ground by Elgin Cams. They are ground from new stock cams so the metal quality is good. Elgin grinds some of the best cams in the world (quality wise) so having him grind them is a good thing. The website says they are CNC ground which is not true if all of their cams are in fact ground by Elgin. CNC grinding of a precise component like cams isn't always best idea quality wise. You can make more cams per hour with CNC equipment but hand grinding includes that human element of quality control throughout the entire process. Elgin did not design the cam profiles himself so whether or not it is a good design I don't know. Dema would not grind knock-off cams.

So Blox "C" aren't Jun 3 copies.... The Blox P1 isn't a Skunk 2 pro 1 copy?

Blox doesn't copy??

I should say Dema wouldn't knowingly grind copied cams. Like I said he is just doing the grinding but Blox supplied the eccentrics for the grinders. The Blox cams may have the same lift and duration as the other cams but that in no way means they are copied.

pro fab is a tri-Y. pro fab is a great header. fitment is good plus the power. well i did not do any dyno comparison but i did make 192 horse and 132 torque on an all stock ls-vtec.

so you're saying you visually checked them and they look similar, or that you degreed both cams and found them to be exact? big difference....
