yes it was from plano, and it was not the first one my friend bought his and he seem to have no problems, so i got one, well as soon as i got mine in my friends went bad and a month later my started acting up.
Well the friend he is talking about would be me. I have actually bought 3 of these cams myself and they all did this exact samething in 2 different motors. The first time, I thought it was just one of those things?? Bought another one from him and it did it again?? I had another 5.3 I put in my truck, and my dumbass bought another one from this idiot. It was making noise at start up. I finally got smart and got a real comp cam. Anyways after the third one, I was pissed. I called this guy from Plano and told him what the deal was. He came up with ebery excuse in the book. My valve springs too tight, which I have comp 918s, not good oil pressure, or I was installing them wrong. I told him I had 60 psi oil pressure, 918's are some of the best springs for my application and on the dozen cam installs I have done locally, the 4 cams that came from him all did the same damn thing. He then went on the say that out of the hundred of cams he has sold, that this was the only time it had happened. I even sent him the first cam and they had never seen anything like that. BS. What are the odds of the 4 cams I get eff up but none of the other hundreds he sold havent?? This is the guy that is on ebay, craigslist and all the truck forums with a "fresh copy". I really thought the he would try and make it right with me but he pretty much said it was my fault. I still have 3 of these cams I will post pics of on here to show how much junk these are. DONT BUY FROM THIS GUY:

Call him if you have any cam questions. Dont get me wrong, hes a super nice guy to talk to, but the cams he has are junk.
