There's something about OBX and cams in the same sentence that i do not like. Especially considering their past quality record

anyone have any real pics of the OBX cams? i know the one they show you look all pretty and computer modified but what do they really look like.

and how do those cam specs compare to other brands. like skunk2, JUN, Toda, crower, BC3+ etc....

jesus man he just gave you the cam specs right above. if you want to compare them to other brands do a search.

Any background on how these cams are made and the level of quality? I've had crower cams snap on me before. And they warrantied the cams.....but not the engine explosion. Supposedly i just got a part of their "Bad Batch"

itbtype-r

no i haven't used them....but from the quality of the accessories they have made, the quality has been very poor..so putting something cheap in your motor would make you think twice..

If these are anything like the first batches of skunk,crowers I hope you guys arent tuning on built motors.

companies that tried steel cores with no success:
the Skunk
JG
and a few domestic cam companies
i know comp has a big problem with their core eating rockers, dont know if its steel or not.

its highly unlikely that obx cams made from steel will be compatable with rocker arms.

this was posted by "the man" in another obx cam thread , so beware!!!

You guys have ***** of steel, because I wouldn't risk putting obx anything "into" my motor. The quality of their products are basically . I just wonder how much R&D went into designing these. I've seen the specs and all but come on fellows, OBX. You guys should see some of the stuff they make now, turbo manifolds, lsd, complete turbo kits. I"m not the anti-obx man I just know that some of you guys put a lot of dough into your motors and to risk like this would be . By the way how much do they cost. But I might be completely wrong and they might kick ***.
