Good find! I can't wait until all the cam companies start stocking them. That should drive the $400 price tag that most companies charge down

Those cams have been around for quite awhile now. At least that's what I thought. I don't see how it'll drive the price down much, they're still made from billet stock. There's only so cheap a roller cam can be, R & D has a lot to do with it. Crower's gen 3 stuff didn't drive the other major brands prices down.

Anyway those look like some decent lobes, but I don't like the lack of choices between 224 and 230 and 236.

You can get billit roller gen 1 cams and bbc's for $199 all day long. It is all about supply and demand. Right now gen3 parts demand is higher than the market supply.

I said R & D has a lot to do with it too. The rifle drilling and reluctor rings on these cams don't help price either. As long as people pay that price, they will keep charging that price.

The rifle drilling isn't new technology but the reluctor rings may be. That is just all simple machining though. R&D is part of every engine type of cam development. Basically what I said earlier, If there is 12 cam companies all competing for the same market of people rather than 5 then the price will come down. Supply and demand.

It's about time Isky makes some LSx cams, in opinion they are the best cams on the market. I use Isky in Camaro would not use any other brand.
