I believe Kelly is selling a motor. Sucks to hear about another broken cam. I've seen OEM Nissan cams snap... maybe everyone is using the same company for QA

Sorry to hear about this although having a "spare" Evo to drive definitely lowers the pitty factor in this case. Good for you for finally deciding to take your Evo to the track though.

well i think im probably going to stick with kelfords... they seem reliable on 8s, their only on 9s.. and i cant find another cam that wouldnt be a downgrade from my 11mm lift.. since im converting to 8, and ill have a built head i think it should be safe
