most obx cams are direct copies of the skunk2 cam specs. I dont know if there made in the same factory but just the name obx makes me feel uneasy

so do all there other products that break. If you feel like playin there game go for it or spend a little cash and get from a company that takes pride in there name like zex/comp.

What kind of warranty? Are they going to warranty the damage caused if a cam breaks? A lot of damage can be caused that they might not warranty. They might give you a new cam, but what good is that...

It might be useful to look up what material was used, the manufacturing process, etc.

they'll warranty the cams, but what are they going to do when they eat up your rockers?

don`t even worth a try.
they do have warn. on the cam but what happen if the cam break, valve stuck, piston hits valve then chew up valve then ---- up sleeve and piston then rod chew up crank then valve sticks up and ---- up your 1000 dollars head...and so on. lol
are they going to pay for all that ? NO

Then it shoots out and hits you in the face and you wreck but don't die and your girl breaks up with you and the dog dies and then you can't hold/get a job because your permantly disfigured and you die alone and never get that 20whp they said you would. Does the warranty cover that?

i looked into this when i was looking for a cam-

the OBX are direct copies of Skunk2's. ie; the stage 1 OBX, are the same as stage 1 Skunk2.

i also noticed both stage 1 cams are just hair off itr's, which you can probably get for cheaper than both

ITRs = 2 cams
Z6 = 1 cam

Type R stuff isn't cheap either. LSD Tranny ITR = $1100. D tranny + LSD = $600.
