Ok, I think I picked that nit... |
I would suggest you hold a Billet cam in one hand and a Cast Cam/SADI in another and judge for yourself.
If you feel this is just hype your ride is probably just fine with what your using.
It's critical with higher valve train loads higher rpm's
You'd also be surprised how many cars are being manufactured today with Billet Steel cams from the factory
