Looks like they work from what that site says... HOWEVER, I would highly discourage any kind of in depth work like this unless you have an experience shop working with you. Unless of course youre a master mechanic and tuner From what Ive learned about work like this is that it takes ALOT of work to get it right and even a minor flaw can result in disaster.. Unless you have bottom-less pits for pockets, I wouldnt chance it.

Comp Cams are definitely top notch stuff. We don't have any real good testing though with the cams as most of our customers have done full build ups at the same time so there is no actual baseline and after dyno comparison just with the cams. If you're interested in a set give us a call as we are a direct COMP warehouse distributor and can offer you great pricing and quick shipping on all comp lines.. Thanks, Jared@Lethal

I called comp cams about the stage III cam set. They said you need a custom computer program to use these cams. They said my SCT tuner would not be sufficient. They reccommended calling F.A.S.T. I still may buy the cams and try running them.

Watch out! When you install a higher lift cam, your valve springs, lifters, rockers and valves will be affected. You run a major risk of putting a valve into your piston. [sm=badidea.gif] If you're going to do it right, rebuild your heads to accomodate the higher lift in your cam. Everything has to match.. Get with your local engine shop and ask some serious questions. Show them the cam you want and all the specs for the cam, then they will let you know what else you need so you don't turn your treasure into trash.
