my motor: 94-spec gsr

i was looking at these cams, and i was wondering if anyone has ever bought any cams off ebay, or used ebay cams etc. I know they're ebay cams, and they'll probably have a horrible power band, or will probably already come broken in the box, but im still curious...

on the cam specs, it says lift for the intake is 0.5583" ... doesnt that seem like an abnormaly high lift with a really crappy 237.17 duration? isn't stock duration for gsr cams somewhere like 236? i know these are obviously not the best cams, but would it hurt running something like that with a type r basemap?

these are the kinds of cams that get ground down after idling for ten minutes

really? i have a friend who just bought exact same cams off ebay.but he has not installed them yet. i saw the cams in person. and they look pretty good. someone told me that they are skunk2 cams replica. but who knows.

i assumed ebay cams were made out of a durable ABS plastic... just wanted to make sure.

isn't .558 a pretty high lift though? crowers stage 3 cams only go up to like .469 lift, but i guess the duration makes up for the lift and vice versa for these cams...

 

the specs aren't right
even jdm type r cams dont have that specs.
figure out who is the manufacture and go from there

i know, thats why im probably not ganna buy these, unless someone can vouche for them being reliable, and ... not crappy.

i believe ctr (which is similar to itr) cams are .449 lift (intake). .558 lift seems REALLY high..

 

dont buy it
i bet they are the same quality as xs power turbos
garbage

 

.558 lift is almost whats in the chevelle i own... and it has 8 cylinders lmfao. that sounds a bit nuts.

 

Ehh. .558 lift on a B series would equal piston to valve contact party.... The specs are definitely wrong.

 

I'd sell them and get some from a reputable set

 

Garbage. You get what you pay for...
