Default Texas Speed - Info?

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of buying a cam kit from texas Speed, I did a bunch of research and I think their 233/239 cam is what I need.

Anyone do business with them and how are they to deal with? Are they supporting vendor here? Not that it really matters but Ive found that the supporting vendors here usually work very hard to make sure they have good communication with customers here.

**EDIT**

I found the answer - Yes.

I have spent quite a bit of money with Texas Speed. They have always been a pleasure to deal with and have some quality products. Call them to make your order though, it's much easier.

I got my MS3 cam kit from them and I love it. I'm also going to order my heads from them.

They are very helpful and know their products well. You could give them a call and ask what springs, retainers and pushrods to use. They can also tell if you need to check valve clearance to the piston.
