Help with Cans

Hey guys,

I'm doing arp head studs and realized that the cams weren't gsc S2 that I was told they were. The cars has a nice lobe to it
But the cam is showing as a CWC and then it has EP4604 stamped. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Anyone familiar with them? Should I keep them or get myself some Buschur, Kelfords, or GSC. Any feedback is appreciated

I have never heard a single thing good about them

The big names for cams nowadays are GSC, Kelford, FP, and Cosworth.

Are you talking about crower or bc? I've heard of bc cams cracking, but not crower.
What bad things have you heard?

I was saying I have not heard anything good about them like you said you haven't heard anything bad. BC on the other hand I have only heard bad things about.

bruce crowers stuff is supposed to be the shizz in domestics and has been around for a long,long time. im not too familiar with their association with evos, but they did make nice stuff for dsms.

Brian crower cams....i actually bought some bc cams a while back, i did some research and coughed up the 10% restocking fee and got the gscs. I did keep the bc stickers for my toolbox though.
crower=keep
bc=buy gsc

I'll see what i will do. I'll probably down the road end up going with GSC or Kelfords. I'll keep them for now take it from there. Thanks for all the feedback.
