We use Gude Performance camshafts on our setup and we love them. Mr. Gude knows cams very well and knows the engineering involved behind the grind. I've tried other so called "billet" cams and a few have actually broken. So be careful in what you read and hear. What's your setup and what are your goals? We use his 305p cams in our 11 sec All Motor street class Civic. I would give them a call for more info or you can PM me here.

Yeah I know. I have heard that they take too long to get stuff done. But it's only bill, his wife and one guy in the machine shop. You should see how busy they are in the shop. Sometimes I feel bad. His head packages are great for the price for the average Joe on a budget. P&P head,cams,ported t-body and intake manifold for like $1500.00 or so. We got his head work and went 12.50 on a 1.8 liter GSR All motor. I guess some people have been unhappy , but aren't we all?(RMF)

We're building an H22 H2B for next season and we'll be running his cams on that motor too. He's designing some different grinds now so we can try them out. Have you contacted him yet?

"billet" cams just dont break because they're billets. Incorrect spring pessures,lift and many other things will cause a camshaft to break. Its not in the material , its in the installer....Web has helped MANY racers break and hold world records. If you need any real help contact Web, they wont let ya down

I'm not saying they break because they're billets , just the ones I have seen break have been made from billet cores...made in Turkey. But your right,spring pressures,lift and oil pressures and stuff do have a lot to do with it. My point was O.E. is tough to break and don't fear a good O.E. regrind so long as the one doing it knows what they're doing. No problems here so far and we're in the 11's now. But yeah , Webb cams rock too. Just ask Bisi.

How are you? Why did they shut the Perris track down. We wanted to go there and test and tune. How's that pretty car doing.

I had a bad experience with a head that had his full package on it. I'll have to say I was unimpressed with the work. But it was from 4+ years ago with a sohc accord head but things may be different now. I dont' want to really talk shii but I will say when I called to find out everything done to the head Bill was very helpful once he realized I wasn't just phishing for info to rip him off.

I guess they do alot of work for the roundy round circle jerk guys that race old preludes and crxs on dirt.

Yeah Bill and Faye can be a bit paranoid at times. They're just old. lol And yes they do work form everything like Circle track cars to Drag Honda motors to V8's. He's even doing work on these Rhino Off Road Buggy motors. He does it all. Sorry to hear about your bad experience , but something must have cuased that. I have 4 of his heads on my Team cars and they all run great.

I was very unimpressed with the work. To the point that I was disappointed I spent so much when I could have gotten the same from a noted shop. I'll PM you the details and you tell me.
