^ I will agree that 4 years ago the Comp cams were ok cams. But like everything else in life, "if you don't keep up with the market then your products get left behind". That is truly what happened with Comp. Today they are not the best cam choice. For budget HKS and Comp are what they are, but that is "mild" cams at a lower price. They just have a low lift but a great profile... They tend to have a great powerband but lack the performance of more up-to-date cams like the FPRs, GSC, Kelford, etc...

Honestly if anyone was getting cams now days, pay the extra hundred or two and get a set of cams that are much more competitive.

Let me know if the FP pipe Race pipe bolts up to your AMS licp when you give it a try. I have the same licp and wanted to run the race pipe in the future.
