I now know after talking to him and TSP that he has some personal issue with TSP and that is his own personal issue. NOT MINE ! I have ordered everything needed to do my cam swap from tsp and I wait to get the chance to install it. Every one I talked to at TSP was very helpful and knew off hand of who gave me the "bad" opinion of TSP.

LOL @ the title of this thread.

FYI, TSP's cams are grind by Comp. Just like 99% of anyone else you buy a cam from. If the cams are "falling apart" it's a Comp issue, not TSP. They don't grind cams back behind the shop in a shed.

Jon/Matt/Jason/Trevor are all good guys.

Never fails... Easiest way to sell your stuff is apparently hammer on someone else! We're used to it by now

I wouldn't even consider ordering parts from anyone other than texas speed. I got my headers with tsp y pipe last year, great guys to deal with, good service/ fast shipping. I will be ordering my heads/cam combo next month from them. Can't wait to get the stuff and get it in. Proven performance with awesome prices. you can't beat it. How can anyone argue that their stuff is junk when you see over and over the great gains from their combos. TSP for the win! I'm ready for that Tsunami...
