I contacted them over 2 months ago when I saw them hanging around on E-bay. Here is my question and there answer?????? Makes you wonder who is buying them?
Dear commdiver,
I will ask out cam guy but I don't know if he will
the the specs go. This camshaft was made to run
in the stock porsche 944 class and pass
inspection, a "cheater cam " to speak of. what
are you looking for with your Porsche 944???
Hope to hear from you soon

So after this message in return from them I asked if I could see the cam card the camshafts come with! However after these two responses I gather there is no cam card and that they are truely just some guys in a shed like there name suggests!!!! HA HA
ok shawn, tell me what you know about cam specs
and how they effect the powerband of a motor and
reflect its change in ability to produce a vacum
and at which rpms you wish to exploit your engine
and we can talk about cam specs.

I sent them a message back trying to understand how they could sell a performance cam when they have no data or proof! I was not rude in any way just blunt and to the point! So this is what I got back from them:
Good luck with your future in life. you seam to do
well with people. and cam sales are going great
BTW

its a stock cam... they buy them (probly from ebay) as a stock cam, then polish it up a little to look new, then sell them as performance cams. the people that buy them will most likely never be able to tell a difference (or lack there of). And i very much doubt anyone is going to swap one of these into their car, realize there is no difference, then go through all the work of swapping it back out and trying to return it.
and they know this
and they know this

if you read the add they say that they offer a refund if you send them your old cam, that leads me to believe they are doing regrinds. Oh and it sounds like things went well for you boost feen.

do they even provide a before and after dyno? it's one thing to say you're not releasing the specs. i understand that since alot of camshaft mfg's are secretive about it. they'll tell u total lift and total duration, but they won't give u actual engineering specs. but to not even post a dyno sheet, that's just idiotic and bad advertising
