Harold Brookshire. . .one of if not the best lobe designers in the industry. Many cam companies have him to thank. Harold has been gone for a couple years now.

BAD IMO!! Seeing some of the parts Comp puts out and a few personal experiences. Lunati has always been at the top and I hope Comp will not bring them down.

I agree.

Every time I think of Comp I think of the recalls on their beehive springs.

So out of the 100's of thousands of products Comp Cams has sold, not to mention the 100's of thousands of springs they have sold, your gonna dislike a company due to a problem with their 918's.??

Have you EVER seen how many recalls GM has had? With your logic, you'd be walking barefoot.

Thats an ignorant statement to say the least..

I'm not saying their products are crap. I'm just saying their recalls are the first thing that pops to mind when I hear their name.

No reason to get all offensive.
