That is usually best. That wasnt a meant to be derogitory, so hopefully it wasnt taken that way. Truth be known, I dont even know why Comp deals direct with end users, because they dont seem to handle that part very well! They are no doubt the biggest mover of camshafts and components commercially, but sometimes I think they try to be too many things, and I think the problem got worse as they continued to buy out other companies, which as many of us have witnessed, often doesnt go well.
Bullet always seems to do a great job, and as mentioned, so do some other smaller guys. Most of what I do is custom, and since I do Ford and Chevy as well, I use totally different suppliers for most of that stuff.
I think cam cores will always be the challenge on the odd stuff.
Again, hope your deal goes well , sooner than later.
