Thanks for the info Travis. Wow, I'm having 2nd thoughts about this now. Maybe I should get the specs on mine checked out before I make any rash decisions about going another route. I'd hate to give up a bang for the buck, but I've got to do this build right to begin with. It's all or nothing, and rather stay away from the nothing before it starts.

I am going to install the same set of cams in my engine after reading the countless amount of great reviews I've read in the Maxima and Altima community. I ended up getting my cams for only $400 shipped due to a sale deluboz was doing and a cashback program MSN was doing with ebay. I hope they work.

I'm sure you'll be fine.. No part is ever perfect.. especially a copy.. but, hey, that's a risk you take when you buy cheaper. But, in reality, I'm sure that the defect percentage is still low.

Personally, I use JWT cams.. Jim and Clark have a TON of cam design knowledge and 30 years of experience. They have all original stuff, with tons of testing behind it. I've worked with them develop/test several of the more aggresive grinds. Just wait till you guys hear the cams that I'm going to run in a 4th gen, big bore VQ35/turbo setup..

I got a set of deluboz cams in my 3.5 build and so far they are great. Pulls hard as hell after 4,000 rpms without a tune.

where is my excel spread sheet Dave?

Correct me if I'm wrong the list is as follows

HR pistons and rings. I believe it was mention you can't use the HR rods. which are a shame seeing as how much beefier they are. DE the rest of the parts.

Cometic .04 head gasket and assemble.

Headbolts might want to use HR for extra strength and cheaper than ARP L19s. need main bolts the bolts going into the bottom of the pistons. DE bearings.
