    Default crow cams

    ok, so i have heard some really bad things about these, but other people have told me the stories have been exaggerated.

    has anyone had any experience with crow cams?

    i'd like to hear positives as well as any negatives

    ive got some for my 4age, took them out after 50km because i didnt have an aftermarket ecu to run them, just wanted to see what they felt like and i can't say anything bad. Their customer service is good as well. They sent me all the info i needed on them

    The only problem I ever had was with re-ground cams due to the hard facing coming off them.A true Billet cam is my recommendation.
