I have gotten a few PMs about why is Buddy Club making the same spec Camshafts as HKS?
I have called Buddy Club and this what they have to say!
They told me that They did a lot of research on the cams on the evo8 and they felt that the HKS specs are what they felt as the best right now. That is why they have the same specs as the HKS camshafts. They are doing more research as we speak, and trying to come out with a even better engineered camshaft!
I hope this will help answer a few questions for you guys!

Why is the Genesis motor 12,000 US? Holy hell. What do you get for that much money? Is it like the 4AG with the 5 valve head or something? I would think I could take my stock motor have it ported, polished, balanced, swap out every moving part in the motor and still be under 1/3 the price of a Genesis.
