SLP 233/239 Cam Anyone have any experience with this cam? I can get this for a wholesale price, just wondering if anyone runs it, and if its similar to TSP's 233/239 cam.

Not saying they do but with all the bad press about their products id tend to shy away from any internal mods. I still remeber all the issues people had with the SLP 402 shortblocks...

However, unless youre buying a used product or are getting a great price on something, Id suggest buying an item from a better company, all things being equal.

Exactly I agree 100%, their headers (although they hang low) make good power, as do their lids, pullies, intake manifolds, etc I would just be weary on buying a cam from them as it would probably be the same price or more than one of the prove cam grinds from one of the sponsors. I shouldnt bash SLP as im sure they make decent products, I just feel that the sponsors on this board have a lot more time/effort/experience when it comes to cams/heads/etc than slp does and when putting down a lot of money for parts I always tend to go with the best.

SLP is also a sponsor --> For me it all boils down to: #1 Is the the best piece to attain my goals. #2 Is the deal I'm getting on it so good that I would have no problems selling it for what I paid for it. This is the beauty/frustration of the used car market. My advice is to call SLP ask them details so you don't have to listen to speculation on certain aspects
