I did my cam swap yesterday, the old HKS had a few scratches on the journals as well, but nothing that excessive.
Not to jacked the thread but Eddie am interested on those cams.  ;D ;D ;D

When I dyno the s2 cams, I'll show Lowell the scratches on the 272s for his opinion on how bad it is and if their even worth selling.

Delta cams seems to have a good reputation I sold my K272 profile for $400 to somebody in the east.

Delta cams is close to English Racing and ETS too.

I hear English Racing is good at fine tuning big cams for street so I want to see (hear) their S3 cammed DSM cars.

Definitely worth a day trip to visit these 3 places and pickup a cam at the same time.

Maybe I will get to meet Jeff Bush and other high profile DSM's

Delta Cams has repaired my cam journals (spray weld).
I did my research into this topic and Delta cams seems to have excellent reputation for this type of work.
I will post finish photos later.

I am looking for a DSM head to do a hand spin test with the cams in place before installing them into my engine.

Dan,    what did it cost to have the cams repaired?

I have a spare set of fp3 cams that could use a little help on some journals

Summary.......Lowell Foo ran the S3 cams in his car with no problems.....then sold it to another DSM member ...
As far as I know it has no problems ....

I also bought 272 kelford profile cams......sold to Canada DSM member and he ran and dyno it with decent results.

kudos to Delta cams and their work.....
