I didnt know you couldnt ask questions on this forum, isnt that the purpose of this place?
When I called PAC when I was doing my cam swap they answered right away. They answered my questions in 5 minutes. What do you expect with an email? An email isn't going to get you anywhere.

This is a forum, yes, I tend to go by real world experience. From what your installer claims, I would far trust him with all the combos he has tried over what someone on a forum says. 4800 valve springs, if that's the case is way more knowledge than your going to get from an "internet racer". Not saying everyone here is, but it's true.

I really don't care, but it's a forum isn't that the purpose of this place? Share information and opinions...

Calling them is next, I wanted to give them 4 or 5 days to reply and see if they would or not.. if nothing By the end of today then i am calling tomorrow..

Yes i do trust my installer, But that doesnt mean i dont want to hear some other opinions. Yes i agree with you, Information, opinions, and questions.

So what now about you swapping in a new cam? what are the specs on this one?

I have one of my employees inspect anything I do as well, everyone no matter how experienced can have a mistake and we go above and beyond to prevent that. We fully heat cycle the springs a few times with cool downs as well, which was done on Derek's truck.

Becoming a sponsor = lots and lots of phone calls per day from non-local customers when I can't keep up with the workload I have and I already get too many phone calls.

You're never going to please or convince everyone..This is my last post regarding it as i've went out of my way to fully explain how things work and what has happened...theres always going to your nay'sayers etcetc that will give their own thoughts or opinions. To each their own
Sorry that I offended you...I already removed the "ignorant" part out of my post. Sounds like you run a tight ship, glad that you're still busy in this economy. Keep up the good work

And I retract my original input, considering the installer and his QC program, I'd say that PAC must have a bad batch of springs

Low on funds is a shitty excuse Derek!
