Whom would Even consider a Cam that Cost 1/3 the Price of the going rate for Good cams?

Let alone OBX Quality seems to be ****, Ie...Turbo Manifold

I bet the sizing on those is so fucked up they won't turn in the head.


Or they will turn, and you won't have any oil pressure.

Yes. Look at the hexagonal bolt on them.

Nothing wrong with OBX, alot of the stuff is made in Taiwan as is about 90% of the affordable stuff now. OBX also has skunk style intake manifolds.

Have any of you used them? probably not, either have I, I sell ALOT of performance stuff some of there stuff is pretty crappy and some is really good, I sell skunk2 as well and I would have to say THEY have the shittiest cam on the market, I have had numerous people come in with problems and warranty claims, as well as JUN but thats just my 2 cents

Never bash until you try it. Some companies have better quality then others, that is just my argument.
