    their lifters suck, my buddy is bringing mine that broke this year to the pri show next week to show them whatsup. i tore up some shit this year because of those lifters.
    Oh, this make a ton of sense as their lobe profiles are great and some of the most advanced, but the jackasses they have their puting them together to make a custom cam shouldn't be dealing with a moped much less a race engine. If your guy knows his shit, and obviously he must, then letting him pick out the profiles or even designing his own profiles and giving them to them to grind is fine. Just wouldn't trust comp to pick them out for ya.

    I have heard mix opinions about their lifters, mine have been fine, but they will likely need to be replaced. I am probably dealing with a ticking timebomb LOL.

    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

    my cam this year is pretty big, around 800lift. it has alot of spring pressure and the lifters were new at the beginning of this year and i broke 3 of them in about 40-50 passes and 200 street miles. and before that the cam i have now is a small base circle cam well the lifter oiling band is not big enough so when the cam is at base circle it blocks the oil from flowing so it tore up my jesels and a bunch of pushrods.

    who does your head work? why didnt they do a cam for you?
