Check the Dyno Tuning Results thread, they make tons of low-mid torque and hold up great on top end due to the high lift. If used with a stroker and stockish turbo, the torque is nasty. I recommend degreeing these cams as they had some quality control issues, my intake cam was 22* off spec.

I would at least pick up one for the intake cam, if you're lucky, your set is good and ready to drop in. My exhaust wasn't far off but there's alway variables such as a head or block being resurfaced will change the cam angles once it's all bolted together.

Honestly, I didn't know until I bent some valves. The next try, I degreed them and found that I had a bad set. The only culprit is where the cam gear pin was positioned, all the the lobes from cylinder to cylinder were fine. If you need any help figuring it out, just PM me. All in all, it was just an issue with the intake cam but taking time to check the exhaust as well will be priceless. I believe that degreeing any cam is worth the time so you are absolutly sure where you're at when working with adjustable cam gears to make more power.
