Default Rocket Motorsports Valvetrain?!?!? Good?!?!? Bad?!?!?

I'm putting together my plans for my head package, and I decided to go with Buddy Club Spec 3++ Cams.


Now I am trying to decide on the type of valvetrain to upgrade too.
I was thinkin of stick with BC, but is extra dollars and prolly just for the same.
I also had Omni Power and Rocket in mind, I really dont know much about Rocket tho, and I have never heard anything bad about Omni.

What would others suggest? High compression LS/Vtec.

I guess, but they provide a 1 year manufacturer warranty

But to me just because its made there doesnt guarantee poor quailty, there are excepts to every rule.

Robert gave me a personal presentation on his gen2 springs on a spring tension measuring machine.
I got his D-series cam and i used ISKY valvetrain on my engine, but that's because he does not have nonVTEC D-series springs, otherwise i would use his entire system.

See heres where my dilema kicks in again.

I have heard countless for RM
But Buddy Club's stuff is soo new that not allot of people have it yet, or have had it for long enough time where problems might pop up.


And as a side note, all buddy club parts are made and produced in Japan.

look bro seems like everyone is giving u a answer u asked for and u are just finding other excuses to purchase the Buddy Club stuff then I would just tell u to just stick with that

as for me coming from skunk2 products which didn't cut it for my Ls/Vtec project and now a proud and happy RM valvetrain owner

I would say regardless u go RM or OMNI stuff u ain't going wrong as these guys both know there ****....

but it is up to u hit them up on there email address either one of them and they can explain helped me alot

Both of them helped me make the correct decisions and my outcome is fantasic!!!!

your exactly right everyone is telling me to get RM.

Cause no one has Buddy Club.
Even tho everyone is saying RM, I'm gonna experiment and go for the buddy club.
1) its cheaper 2) it is warrantied 3) People seem really happy with the cams
4) I cant see myself reving to 10 grand anyways, its a daily driver. I dont drive hard.

Look dude, if your soo set on Buddy Club it's not likely that your gonna listen to these people anyway so why did you post in the first damn place. Makes no sense. If all this BC stuff is new, wouldn't you want to go with a proven company such as RM instead of risking it with stuff nobody has used? I mean to me, sounds like you just want it because of the price you can get it for. Going the cheap way out on an engine build is not a smart thing to do. Do it right or do it twice.

With good springs and seat pressure over 75lbs you can run most cam profiles to 10k provided you have the proper clearances and the bottom end can handle it.

this post really is wothless since u are set on BC products. its sounds more like u wanna have the newest "coolest (ie bandwagon)" product. im not here saying BC is a bad product but read sentence 1 again.

im running RM valvetrain too. ive seen 10k many times over again.
