    I will never do anymore business with Bisi, except to purchase their cam gear. I went rounds after rounds about fitment of his so-called cam. he just comes up with some specs and Web Cams cuts it for him. I ordered a cam from him and when i tried to install it, i noticed that from cylinder 3 to 1 the cam lobes were progressively hanging off the rockers worse and worse. I posted up a big write up on a couple sohc websites. Talking about some abnormal cam wear if i would have used it. Then the oil journal towards the cam gear was 1/2 way blocked because the cam was cut wrong there too. There was MANY phone calls and emails sent back and forth. He said i had some wack head, and i told him that he had a wack he. I had around 12 other engine builders come over to my shop to physically see what i had told them over the phone. Everyone couldn't believe how they would sell a camshaft like that. I sent both cams back 2x(which came out of my pocket) and still no corrective solution besides refund me my money back. He said he never had a unpleased customer, but he has one right here!
    But i used the stock z6 camshaft in my build which was my DD, and i made 400 whp/ 318 ft.lbs torque on 93 octane. Would have made more, but my stock ignition couldn't keep up. I used a Garret 57 trim with the .63a/r hot side. 9:1 compression, supertech valvetrain, and i always do my own port/polish. Ed Senf at Balanced Performance tuned it with s300. It was a great DD as where i had ppl say the stock cam would work the way that it did and the hotside was going to be too big for a DD. And that came from some ppl on here that i would have call the sohc pioneers.. I saved my pocket a descent amount of money from trying the stock cam out against the odds..

    thanks for looking out. I was also thinking bisi was a little sketch because of what i have read on other forums about it........the only article i could find with all of the d16 cams had bisi 2.4 cam out doing his 3.4 race cam by 3hp (done in the same car, same motor, ect. the only thing that was changed was the cam and timing of course) that to me had me scratching my head because the 3.4 cam is the one in his 700hp sohc......I have decided to go with the crower stage 2 and see what happens. I am contemplating if i should go ahead and sleeve the block or just get some mad head work done and see how long i can make the sleeves take it. bc like i said i should easily put down 350hp to the wheels or really close to that bc any more than that on the street and the tires would continously be blown off to 60mph+ no good if i am not hookin.
