Why are Gen III camshafts so expensive?
So I could buy a new cam for a SBC and pay less than $150. But i have a Gen III, so i have to pay almost $400 for the same thing. Just wondering why this is. Does it have anything to do with the fact that ours are Hydraulic Rollers?

i believe bc its a billet piece made from a solid chuck of steel as opposed to a cast piece in the SBC?? I think its the mfg that makes it cost so much.

Prices are high because the suppliers know we will pay it. Its like everyone says, you have to pay to play. For example the fast intake setup, is there really even close to a thousand dollars worth of cost in those intakes...LOL
