They aren't too bad, but if something bad happens don't think your gonna get any service or warrantee.

I was going to go with Blox but after 3 weeks of tryin to talk to someone from their company and not getting any answer I changed my mind.

Yep, that's why they are cheap. They don't have any R&D costs because they copy everything and therefore have no product knowlege and don't require and customer service staff. Brochures and warranty promises that you read is the best you'll get from that company so take your chances.

And thank you again for pointing that out in my thread, I never even got a answer from them.
I know your word is honest now as well.

I know I was bumping heads with you in your thread but that was exactly the reason why I wouldn't deal with them when I had my shop, I couldn't get any technical support or help from them EVER.

I have used Blox type B cams, Blox valve springs, and a blox cam seal. All good quality products. I agree that their customer service is non existent. And that their products are knockoffs. Still, they sell a quality product at value, and this is why they are a successful company.

So no customer service, no technical support or warranty support and copies of another company's hard work which is reproduced in a Chinese Factory = successful company?

If that's how a "successful" company is defined these days, we sure don't have much to look forward to in the future.

The biggest reason why the economy took a nose dive is because Rumsfeld and Cheney (and others like them), under the (puppet) leadership of Bush, destroyed it serving their own interests. No wonder Obama can barely get ahead. It's like inheriting a house that the previous owners burnt down when they left and then saying to you "enjoy your new house" lol ...but that's a whole other topic and discussion

you almost got it. If one of those "hard working" companies wouldn't have outsource a Chinese Factory to make thier products, then that Chinese Factory wouldn't be able to sell off the "extras" to another company.

Hytech? Is that what you're talking about? They're the only ones I'm familiar with that actually did that. A few people spread rumors about companies like Skunk doing it, but that wasn't true. All you have to do is purchase whatever brand name merchandise you want, send it to China and say, hey, I want you to copy all these parts and package them in a new box, and there it begins. Or you could just run the cams through a cam doctor to get the specs and then tell the factory to produce cams with the dimensions you supply.
