Cam Kits: Engnbldr vs Other

Alright, so my top end needs some work, so I'm on the hunt for a new cam, rocker arms valves, etc, etc, etc.

Of course the first though: straight to Engnbldr. Unfortunatley they don't seem to offer rocker arms(yes I did talk to them about it).

However I was cruising eBay and came across these:
eBay Street Cam kit

eBay Torque Cam kit

They don't look like to bad a kit, and they come complete(spring, arms, cam, and steel rail timing stuff). And the price doesn't seem too shabby for what you get.

So has anyone used or heard of this companies products?

That would be cool, except: I have a turbo, thus a different head. And unless my head is hooped, I don't have any need to change it.

You can use the 22RE head on the 22RTE - it bumps your compression up slightly, which is a good thing if you're running the stock CT20 and stock (~7.8:1) compression. It's only a slight change, nothing radical - you'll still have a "low" compression motor.

If the head is coming off, you can add those valves via doing a valve job.. that'd probably make more sense (and less $$) than buying a new head.

Course, that's not what you asked!

Well, I've got a T3 sitting on the bench to go on(if it wasn't -20*C today it'd be a lot closer!)...so bye bye CT20

Good to know it won't change anything too much with a 22RE head. If my head is buggered, non-turbo heads are a whole lot cheaper and easier to come by.
