why?

and i'm at the stage of buying a camshaft . My question is . What brand of camshafts are good and which are ones to stay away from ?
just get one from repco. they sell stuff that works and no b/s

Any info would be great

....

I am building the 308 to go into my 1979 VB commodore . A car i got to grow up with and have been a big fan of them since i was 12 years of age . I am restoring the VB as holden is in the blood

so, you don't think an xc falcon would be a better choice?
just kidding.
get your bits from repco, nothing ever fails and they are great to deal with, and returns are no problem.

If i had the cash i would love a xb coupe

comp cams, crane cams, crane, etc are names that spring to mind

best to get one ground to suit your needs/engine setup though

and wtf is with evryone having a "we love repco" session? yea, they can supply a LOT of parts, but the technical knowledge is sadly lacking, and lets not forget what REPCO stands for

Back when I was building a VB V8, I used an Isky cam.

I found they were better than the others, but not sure what they are like now.

another name to add to the list..... Iskendarian, very much an old school reputation there

to add a little flavour, theres also Ivan Tighe cams
