They were good on the ones that were good. I believe they had some quality issues, and some guys had to really clock them with cam gears to get them set correctly. They are far from just drop-in based on this aspect.

I would just run Kelfords or GSC's and not take the risk.

I agree with GSC's. Lucky VIII bastards get to choose S1's, S2's, or S3's.

Come on JR, get a set of S3's. Keith's car sounds like a double kick bass drum at idle.

the first vid is my car. haha.

they were awesome cams. i think they worked best on stock frame turbos. they had some awesome down low/mid range. good top end but today's cams will out perform the revolvers up top. i would get this cams IF your stocking to a stock frame turbo ''stock, green, red, turbos. otherwise there are other options out there.

revolver went out of business a few years ago. so getting these cams are hard. very rarely do you see a brand new set pop up. but it does happen.

also a lot of these cams were said to be ground wrong. so its important to dial them in correctly. also a lot of these cams were made correctly. so just keep your eye out and degree them when you install them.

^sounds scary. Honestly I'd stick with GSC, especially if ER will be working your car. They can get so much more out those cams due to experience.

This speaks to the attention to detail any installer would have to take.
