I've never heard anything like that with thunder cams. Thunder, Futral, and TSP are probably the best ones according to the feedback on this website. I would think for one of them to mess up would either be a freak deal or it was installed improperly. Just my .02 cents.

I think Thunder and Futral use cam motion for their cams,thunder used to use comp. cams and may still do on some. TSP use comp. cams for their cam profiles.

Futral did have a bad batch awhile back but i have not heard of many comp. cams having bad lobes. Pushrod length and bad lifters cam eat a lobe off a cam fast and some people will blame the cam,when it's not the cam.

What StreetStalkerZ is saying is my understanding also, I PM'ed you guys awhile back that are thinking of doing a cam install. I was trying to put you in the right direction to save you a buck and get a good cam. You can go there with any questions you have.

The 2002 corvette 02 is what I use. I have the part number in the other building in the morning I will get it on here for you. They are very long, you can find room on the pass side to tie the extra up, on the driver side there isn't much to tie to but you can get the extra up out of the way.

Thats the ones Bro.The rear sensors from a 2002 vette.They have the right connection and everything.
I was told that they were a hotter sensor also and that made them better for reading all the way down at the end of the collector, but I dont know for sure myself.

That's the one's Bosch 13111, now I have heard that GM has come come out with a better one with like 6 or 10 notches in the heat sensor. But I think you would still need an extension on them.
