wow... i actualy wanted to use some of his parts on a sb build but not anymore.. time for comp baby.. what a jerk

wow I posted early, and felt I might have been out of line and too harsh, well not really, after I hit the send button,to Plumcrazy, I came back to see this up to 40 posts, I thought I might have said something wrong, but I guess my feelings are shared by the group, and as i suspected alot of business going away from Hughes. Im sure he will see this chat room discussion, and not see much money i the future, again, not because of his product, but because of his mouth, you dont tell everyone you slept with the bride at her and your bosses wedding

try Scott Brown cam's.He's a super nice guy and he return's your call's fast

Well I quess someone will be in the soup line soon. I am amazed that someone would actually put something like that in print for us all to see, that tells you he is a f@%ing idiot right there!

This fellow has just displayed much ignorance here. I will say now that as far as I knew, nobody directly involved blamed Hughes. They were aggressive cams, and newer grinds if I remember correctly, so we did question whether there may be a problem with the lobes at first. Of course we should have never even let that thought enter our minds, since Hughes apparently knows it all, but at that time we weren't aware of the fact. I am surprised he isn't building engines for professionals or something. Once it was all checked out, I believe that the conclusion was that the cams weren't at fault. I'll save the rest of my comments for later, I don't have time to get into it any further now.

It sure got HOT in here fast

Not good PR Hughes, since I'm sure "amateurs" make up the majoriry of your customers. If I'm ever a "pro" such as yourself, I might look into one of your cams.

I was going to order one of his cams tommorow. Boy am I glad I read this thread. He can shove all his products up his icehole.

That's just incredibly stupid.

For a company who based it's first line parts on someone else's camshafts (Engle) put into in a different package, Hughes sure is full of himself.

I'm happy with the custom Comp cam from fast68plymouth/Porter Racing Heads.

The last I checked, the Enginemasters statements were that when running one of these cams, be sure to check the lifter bores and that it WAS a lesson learned in the end. I wonder how many people out there have one of these oversized lifter bore blocks that are running just fine with another cam.

So, to make Mr. Hughes happy, I will say it in front of all the people right here.. DO NOT BUY one of his cams unless you have had the lifter bores checked and/or resized and bushed But this ofcourse, is from an uN-professional, pea-on "hobbiest", so what would I know?

He certainly considers the online crowd a small market segment. Why else slit your own throat? Unless you have no clue. And if you have no clue, what are you doing grinding cams?

LOL what Mike just posted should answer your question 6pakrunner, he is an idiot. What is he doing grinding cams? No one knows .

Boy his business must be going in the crapper lately or something and by the suonds of it , it may be going wuuush now for sure!
I'm glad i went to see SCOTT for a cam.

Wow!! I can not believe what I just read! What a slap in the face! Guess we all know what kind of business man Dave is now.

now let me think, if i were to get involved with another EM contest, whose cam would not make the list. it's hard for me to imagine the reason he's displaying that garbage. is he afraid someone might find out we got a discount on some cams. our engine made very good power and torque, i would think he would have focused on the positive. not very bright of the "pro" in my book.
we did have time constraints, shipping an engine around the country is time consuming and expensive. we made it to the show, and opened some eyes very wide. a controversial problem with the dyno may or may not have ended our chances, we may never know for sure. we did the best we could. had some of our suppliers decided to donate parts instead of just discounting them, we may have had enough money left over for additional testing. heck, we likely would have bushed the lifter bores before the final assembly. i guess mr. hughes doesn't have the nerve to ENTER a contest like that, but he sure has some nerve trying to make his product look good at the expense of others. he has mail by the way. you will never ever again see me promote his products or services. as of this moment, dave hughes does not exist...

i'd like to make it clear that there were members here who did donate parts and or services for free. to them i say, thank you for making the challenge possible.

Dave who???

I heard he can't even gap a sparkplug right

I hope MOPAR ACTION reads this

Wow, that really is amazing what he wrote out.. as everyone else has said, hard to imagine what he thought to gain by it all

Sure is nice to know there are lots of other places to get a cam out there though!

The "amateurs" crack is really something.. at least all the amateurs here know where not to buy cams now!
