Check out this link from the All Motor Forum FAQ - https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1977953 . The guy that sells these cams originally got them for less than $90 a set. He didn't have a car club that had them custom made, it's all B.S. But, if you're into shady ebay sellers and shitty parts, by all means use them. I just wouldn't trust my own daily driving motor to parts of that caliber.

Good idea man, I couldn't agree more with that. Runnerdown has the right idea too! Everytime I see one of these threads I feel like someone needs to say something before some unsuspecting person puts them in their motor thinking they are getting a good deal. I've personally talked to the seller of these cams on the phone one time asking him about the cams. I must admit, he has a pretty believable story made up. He even recommends different things to go along with the cams that they have "tested". Maybe you can sell them to someone you don't like and make some money from them yourself. Good luck finding some descent cams .

That seller is a shady mo fo!!! When i emailed him to get specs as far as what material they were, who did the grinds, etc. and the name of his supposed car club, he replied like he was all tough **** saying they were badass cams and if i didn't know about cars to just buy them and have my mechanic install them.

Yeah, for smoother idling

He says the lobes have a lot of surface area so theres more potential.
