Default has anyone used greddy cams?

Well I was just fliping threw a magazine noticed a ad about Greddy's Easy Camshafts, they list that they make more power then the stock cams without having to change any of the valve train and also maintain great reliabilty and driveablity, Now my question is does anyone know someone using these cams or if they really make decent power?

I've searched high and flow and haven't found any info on anyone using these, Also is there any cams that are close to the same spec's as these:

iN 232/250/292 -6.0/9.0/11.5 / EX 232/250/286 - 5.5/8.5/10.0

There selling for like close to 700 so i just wonder but i figure it'd be cheaper then having to build the head completly to gain some power from the head. Any info would be great.

they had a dyno on a stock jdm b18c,

it says stock cams made 191.1ps@7830rpms
Greddys easy cams-212.4ps@7960rpms
Stock cams (173.3N-m@7830rpm
Easy Cams-(185.3N-m@7960rpm

so they make about 20hp and 12torque more on there dyno graph compaired to stock cams, I really dont belive how you could gain that much without having to change anythign in the valvetrain, I don't know to much about cam's, so is it actualy possible to build a cam that can make that much power and not have such aggresive lobes?

"The GReddy EASY Camshaft Sets are designed to improve the torque and power characteristic of your engine, without changing the valve timing or need to change other valvetrain components. By keeping things simple with an matched set of intake and exhaust camshafts, installation is straightforward and users can easily experience and enjoy their improvements of a wider usalble powerband without the loss of driviablity or idle.

I didn't know Greddy made cams.

It could be very possible, stocks cam usually aren't very agressive.

I'm assuming that is crank HP.

Aren't SKunk2 stage 1's similar? stock valvetrain compatable?

i was wondering the same thing. never heard cams made from greddy, but if they did i would totally trust them because of their name. very reputable product name. looking at the specs it has higher lift than ctr cams. so yea, if its true than it should be good.

yeah i never seen the cams but if you google them you can grabed a set for a b18c or b16a2 there like 750 a set tho! but if you make power without having to change anything or more the power band i guess its a great deal to slap in and tune and just run em. once i start working landscaping come next month im going to save for a set and see what happens, and possible add a b20 block to get some mmore power
