Boils down to "have a reputable shop do your internal work" unless you take the time to learn how to do it correctly.

Fixed it for you!

Thanks, Dano. Insert state "here". Just trying to give an example.

It is truely sad that I know of some companies with great products that will not get into the automotive markets for reasons like "warranty" and "tech support". It floors me that everytime some has trouble they expect the manufacturer to fix it, pay for it, etc when there are 350+ (also an insert random # here) of them on the road in other trucks with no issues. It was obviously installed wrong, tweaked wrong, clocked wrong, just plain wrong. Now it is someone elses fault. This seems to be a growing trend across the deezul scene. Makes me ill.

Zach, you should offer your services to install the cam for each customer for an extra fee, plus travel, plus a 5 star hotel room, steak dinners every night, and a case of beer for each day you are there. At least then it'll be done correctly and if something does go wrong they can legitimately blame it on you and you would at least have gotten a decent vacation and meals for your hassle.

Exclamation

Not too long ago, I installed a couple of spiny-things, some big squirters and a lot of bent-up fat pipe along with one of his earlier cams along the way. Ultimately busted all three stock/OEM transmission shafts doing 20+ psig launches at one time or another. POS cam!

I've since installed one of these 188/200 cams. That one image above has made my mind for me. My crap's gonna 'splode!

POS Cam! Click the image to open in full size.

Not a current Hamilton Cam, but I just installed my Colt/Hamilton stage 4 cam

Stage 4 Cam Specs:
181/218 .280/.323 107.5 lsa

Stock gasket, valve job, nothing decked:

0.047" Intake
0.063" Exhaust

I believe his current 188/220 cam specs are 108lsa and .310/.320".

I haven't ran it yet, but anxiously awaiting.
