those are fakes. they are a "so called" stage2 camshafts that are copies. thats a set of ssautocromes/xs power. lol seriously tho u should really read what u want to buy. it says it in the post thats its a fake in bold letters. read under benifits" THEY ARE AFTERMARKET, XS POWER BRAND". lol the cams are ok they now to bad ive installed a few sets for some friends they make ok power. cant complain if u just going around town with them.

I've owned 2 gsr motors in the past and I can tell you that with any motor DONT CUT CORNERS! Just save up the extra cash and buy real ITR cams or Skunk2, make sure you upgrade the valve train and get a better intake manifold. Then I assure you that you will see a difference in the power. Please whatever you do, don't buy cheap ebay cams :\

in my opinion.. any performance parts baught on ebay are ripping u offf. 1. becuase 90% of them are just replicas and wont give u the power and satisfaction that the real ones give u and can damage ur engine.. and 2. its the cheapest **** in the world and cops will bust u on the quick status lol.. just save up money and get the real ones... cuz when u get the actual ones ull realize that what u paid for is what u wanted.. but thats just my opinion
