I'll be interested in seeing how those cams measure up to their reputation. Did you degree them?
Should be decent power with cams and a bump in compression.

Not the end of the world. It should still make good power. Much more power than a NPI!!!

What clearance did you get? Did you know that MHS sells adjustable crank gears, and matched cam gears, so you don't have to degree? That's what i got as my cams came 5 and 7 degrees retarded from Bullet.

MHS's website says they don't sell the matched cam gears anymore???? What's up with that? And why does nick use bullet to grind his cams if they come that far off? Do other companies give similar results?

Really??? I just did mine a month ago. I'm not sure what's up here. According to Nick it's not just Bullet with the issues. Comp, and the other major grinders have these issues as well. Although, from what i gather mine were a little farther out of spec than most.

Recently it has been realized that the stock cam gears aren't as far off as we think...thry aren't perfect but they're just part of the problem. The real issue is that the cam manufacurers can deffinatly guarentee that all the lobes are in sync w one another...but thry can't promis that they are 100% in sync with the keyway...therefore adj cam gears are needed.

Sorry for the **** typing...im posting from my phone
