I'm running a Cam Motion shelf grind. So far its been working well. Comp Cams quality control has gone down the ******* lately. Seen tons of their cams come apart in the last 6 months.

I've been hearing this on the site recently but I've yet to experience or know someone who's experienced a defect of ANY kind. I would say the VAST majority of cams out here are comp and all runnin like champs. Until I have reason to switch, I'll be sticking with the largest and arguably best cam company out there.

Custom, shelf, or both? I'm not doubting anybody's experiences, just saying that I haven't heard of it outside of this site. I honestly find it interesting to have such a variance over the same grinder.

I get phone calls about comp failures everyday. Im not trying to say yours is going to fail or anything. All I am saying is they fail more than most other companies.

They also produce/sell more than most companies though, correct? They probably have more cams out there running perfectly fine than anybody else. I just think big companies (in general) get a bad rep sometimes because society focuses on negative aspects (failures, recalls, etc). IMO if you produce/sell the most units, that would naturally mean more applications/installations/variables resulting in more failures compared to the company that does 1/4 of their business. Anytime a respected business is willing to carry them, I'm not going to lose any sleep on purchasing their product.
