I would like to know if anyone has had any dealings with these folks. They are located in San Diego. My cam has been there since mid November of last year and they still aren't done with it yet. I have called them on several occasions and they keep giving me the run around about not being able to get one of the lobes correct. Now this story has been going on now for about a month and a half and I'm getting pretty sick of it. If anyone has had dealings with them, good or bad, I would like to hear about it. Thanks Gents!

| My friend and I are building GTU cars and he sent them a cam a few months back.The price was too good to pass up.He also had problems with delay-they said they hadn't recieved it etc..When he finally did get it back there were weld drops on some of the lobes and he actually had to take it to a local cam shop to have it cleaned up before it could be used.I would tell them to send it back and go elsewhere.good luck,Andrew |

Bummer to hear you two had issues. Mine went well. It did take about two weeks longer than they originally quoted. Hmmm now you have me worried. The product looked great when I got it back and it seems to be performing well.
Sorry to hear it. At this point I would likely tell them to ship it back. If they are unable to provide the service they quoted they should return the part.
Have another lister in that area go and pick it up.

| Jerry Cantrell!? He must be taking time out of his band 'Alice in Chains'. Maybe they should change it to 'Alice in Cams'. |

Just out of curiosity, Joe, why would you take the shop's side when three people have said that there were at minimum delays and two have outright complained about the service, while no one has said they had a trouble-free transaction with them?

Joe,
I'm gonna be up front and tell you, you're pissing me off. I have not whined to those people. Especially not Mr. Cantrell, I can't even get him on the phone. I keep getting one of his assistants giving me the brush off. All I have simply done is inquire about my cam for the past 3 months. I have been very polite, and all I get is a big runaround. Now, until you hear the whole story, I think it would be polite if you wouldn't say something about someone you don't know anything about and have only gotten one half of the story.

Joe,
No problem, I'm not pissed anymore, just aggravated that I can't seem to get my cam back in a reasonable amount of time. I would think 5 months is a bit excessive to wait for a simple grind. Anyhow, I'll get to the bottom of this Monday and will let you know the outcome.

Well he being Jerry Cantrel said tell him to stop whining,so I did. He didnt mention no names I made the a wrong assumption it was you..
The shop told me for a regular 270 or 274 regrind, its no problem so for a 100.00 I agreed with the shop.

| I sent my cam there couple of months ago, it took the quoted time and was returned promptly. It looked brand new. $100 as promised. No complaints here. (I was also informed it could take up to one month longer if it needed welded on more than once, had me worried for a while). Good luck with the cam. |
