Regardless of what anyone thinks of these cams, I have had them installed for over a year because I was willing to take a chance on what I had read about their quality.

So far they have proven their worth with a 12.4 @ 109 on my 95 Maxima 4 Spd Auto and that is without variable cam timing. This year I have swapped to a 2002 ECU so I will have cam timing as well as a little help from a V-Manage.

That is great for you, I just don't see the reason to save 500 bucks on something that could cost you much more if failed.

The knock-off's are ground off of the SAME exact billets that Nismo/JWT and Nissan use. They are ground overseas.. so the cost is lower.. but, the material and process is top notch.

I wouldn't buy them.. simply because I think it's wrong to copy another company to a "T", and then play cut throat.. But, I see things differently, as a business owner.

As far as quality.. there's NOTHING wrong with them.. that's why you won't find any threads or info where a failure occured.

Go on maxima.org and you will see there are numerous people running these cams and all have given positive reviews.

I think they are grinded off of NISSAN blanks just as the JWT cams are. If that is the case then the material quality issue goes right out the window.
delubozparts' cams are top notch quality, these are made by a large taiwanese company which also produce OEMs, they also have some EVO IX and Honda performance cams in their offer I am not really sure if these are JWT knock offs, JDM more likely - because most of the big bucks JDM companies produce their stuff on Taiwan.

As the great Chris Farley once said "I could look at a good T-bone by sticking my head up a butchers *** but, I'll take the bulls word for it".

Actually they are around 600 i believe. But hey if spending more money on the exact same product makes you sleep better at night then be my guest .

I got mine for $500 because he was just starting to market them, but only after a couple of Altimas got them and did some dyno tests. They are on their 3rd racing season now and have over 800 1/4 mile runs on them and still going strong.

Don't know if this is the same company, but my friend bought some for his specV and he loves them...They gave really good gains and have held up over 6 month's now.
