Default Anyone here ever run a predator cams branded camshaft?

I found a company on ebay that makes lsx camshafts to any specs you want for only $260.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-CHEVY-LS1-ST...1%7C240%3A1318

Has anyone ever used a "Predator Cams" branded camshafts? The reason I ask is not for your results, but how did you find the quality and the accuracy of their grinds? They assured me they were NEW camshafts and not regrinds.

You can't say you wouldn't do it if you don't have a reason

Good call.
Also did they tell you who's lobes they use to grind the cams?
That can play a nice size roll in the powerband as i'm sure you know.

They use their own lobes, they're a cam company based off the east coast. They said everything is NEW and nothing is reground. They have a lobe catalog and for the $140 in savings over a comp cam, it may be worth a shot. Anyone notice cams are going up in price? They're almost $430 through some sponsors now.
