Default Anyone here have camshafts

I can get both the right and left from ABT for $1120. Do they have good quality products? I have not seen any other camshafts for the 12v before and was just wondering?

Default I believe you can get Eurospec cams in a variety of durations for half that.

Default We all have camshafts....

I have Schricks.

$1120 seem kinda high....

Default Didn't see ABT's specs either. Eurospec cams are priced for a pair, ABT's are listed individually.

Like MikTip said, $1120+ seems a little high. You should be able to find what you are looking from Schrick or Eurospec Sport for around $600 give or take.

Default You could also go with AAH cams which are a little more aggressive than the AFC's. Add gun-drilling

for even more umph if you wish. Might even be a little less expensive than either the Schricks or Eurospecs.

Default Never buy a cam(s) from a place who gives no spec's....

especially for the fee they seek....

Default So then I ask which ones would you get.

I go on these website and see them but I really don't know what I am looking for. There are tons of numbers for these things and different kinds. Could some one tell me which numbers I could get?

Thank You

Default I'll be using a set of gun-drilled AAH cams. The Hitachi ECU limits the benefits..

of the more aggressive cams because of the rev limiter. I was originally going to go with 264* Eurospec cams but I ended up with a good AAH set that came with the spare heads. Spare AAH heads w/ all new hardware + gun-drilling and my cost is still about what just the Eurospec cams costs. Another $600 + gun-drilling for a new set isn't in my budget.

Your driving needs(daily driver, road/track, track only, etc.) will dictate what profile you should go with. Unequivicably don't go with the ABT's. MikTip is once again right on, no specs, lot's of dough, stay away. I think you'd be satisfied with any of the Schrick/Eurospec offerings or lightened OE AAH's. HTH.
