Not sure why you were told to stay away from them, I had them and had no issues; what are your expactations? Do you want noise or performance? Do you plan on adding LT's?

You might want to take a look at this Thread.

There is also a Dyno Chart with 3-different sets of cams I ran.

Mine is a FI set-up but the cams are available for N/A also.

There is also a Video of the last set of Cams installed.

So, you can Hear the idle !!!

This. If tuned right, they are fun. Not the biggest power gains but they do get you some power and sound great. It all depends about what you are after for your car.

Because they don't know how to tune them.

They make more power/torque than some cams and less than others. I have no regrets.

Don't worry. Some people on here thrive to be Internet tough guys. ;) Haterade IS the official drink of the Internet after all. :)

Apparently, they feel forced somehow to read every post even if they're tired of certain subjects. Strange. I bypass a lot of threads I'm uninterested in and it doesn't hurt me any. It only makes sense for moderators to visit every thread.

I think the original question here was fine. It was not the typical cam thread of, which is better, what kind of gains, etc. But this question is something I do not recall being discussed in all the hot rod threads I've seen. It's just that some see "hot rod cams" and instantly go OH NOES SEEARCH LOOZER!!!1111

Anyway, these cams are great as long as the tuner you use knows what they're doing. Not everyone can tune cams worth a shit. That's probably where any negativity comes from. Mine are tuned quite well by Chris Rose of AM.

Good choice as BBR did my tune as well..John is also the one who recommended the HR cams to me based on how well they did.
