I never heard any bad reviews and I would put them in my car. I was planning on buying the BC cams from www.evostore.com for $299 but I got a killer deal on the Helix V2 272 cams.

Please don't make comments on something that simply isn't true and you have no experience with.
They are GREAT cams. They make good power and are of very high quality. Brian Crower cams are NOT the same as the original Crower grinds that have been around a while. The B. Crower 272 grind is a grind that made good power and produced excellent powerband results when they did testing on different grinds for Works. The cams have micro polished lobes just like HKS and V2 GSC's. They are priced where cams SHOULD be priced. All these other JDM or other cams are way over-priced for huge profits.
I have quick spoolup, excellent streetability, excellent idle with the B. Crower 272's. They idle better than HKS or GSC 272 and have slightly quicker spooling/low end characteristics. The topend is STRONG. I raised my rev limit to 8000rpm. It pulls quick to redline without drop iff in power.
On ECU+ dyno pulls my Evo and my friends Evo made near identical overall topend hp but my lowend and mid-range are stronger. He has GSC's..I have B. Crowers. I also have experince with HKS. Overall I like the Brian Crowers the best.

i think the negative comment was based on the crower cams, not the BC's. I am planning on getting these asap

Thanks for your input, finally someone with first hand knowledge! Is there anyone that actually used them and had a bad experience?
