Send them back or sell them. Someone surely will pick them up.

Don't get too upset about it. They are probably fine. I think there are a couple dynos on here where people picked up power, so if you didn't dyno back to back to test just let it ride as long as you are happy. Don't believe everything you read on these forums anyway....you never know who is sitting on the other end of the keyboard. Back to back them yourself and use that info...its the only good info.

To be perfectly honest I do not believe that they are bad gain-wise but people here are complaining about the quality, if I understand properly...

I am leaning towards the Cosworth MX1 and Cosworth Valve springs for my FP Red.

They seem to be the safe bet provided you do the valve springs. I've seen too many valve float issues or slightly bent valves after people have revved these cams past 8k. I guess for the stock 7600 limiter that might be the case but no higher.

I have JUN 2R cams with titanium retainers and springs.

I'm on the stock turbo, so it's nothing big right now, but Ivey said that only me and one other X surpassed 350 WHP on the stock turbo at his shop so far. I also have a HFC, so that's limiting me too.

I'm either doing a T3 build or a FP red build, so I can't wait to see these cams paired up with a bigger turbo

Ivey customer here as well. If you want to see what an FP Red without cams feels like send me a PM. We can meet up and I will take you for a spin. It will help your decision.

Yup I will definitely be doing the Cosworth Valve springs as well as ARP Head Bolts and ARP Rod Bolts for extra insurance. I rev to 8K as well.

I wish somebody at BC would pay attention to forums (and threads) like this and simply work reputable vendors on here to TEST AND DOCUMENT their parts. If they deliver on the performance, people will buy a heck of a lot more of them!!!

Why, they don't care...they sell ****ty product and the people that buy their stuff or the cheap people that want cheap stuff. You don't need to market to people when you are the cheapest...you only attract one kind of buyer and that is what they bank on.

You always get what you pay for, always.
