    Me and John worked together at the Honda dealer super nice guy but thinks his stuff is GOLDEN . He has a Super nice shop built at his house , (machine shop) and makes his own parts not re-badged like others are saying . He made me some parts and I watched him do it , He allowed me to stay with him 1 whole day and check his shop out . But price ( he's over price to me ) but with the money he has in those machines I see why . Lots of over head .

    ever since i moved to atl ive been hearing that kms makes the valvetrain for supertech and just put their(supertech) name on it....i see people using them without issues but i know for a fact supertech is a good valvetrain from personal experience, they take the abuse...... so if indeed kms and supertech is the same valvetrain i say its a go

    When I was using them, I used Crane Stage 2 cams. They are like Pro 1's, Bigger than CTR, ITR, ect.

    I have both so I have room to play... An LS in my car right now and a GSR in the garage(complete SWAP)
    I rather give up 3 or 4 hp and lb of tq and be able to rev higher and have a piece of mind... since I'm going with cast iron pistons and stocks rods... and I have some pretty big cams that make power to about 9 9.5 k
