I think it all comes down to getting a cam for your driving style and intent. The alphabet cams were made for the masses for varying style of engine combos and driving styles. I have had e, and b cams in past cars and they are not the greatest. I think the cam is one of the most vital parts of the engine and you should choose one for your combo not everybody else’s. Take a look at the link I posted earlier and read the articles Buddy wrote. Cam truth is a good one.

The Motorsports cams are proven to make power
I have heard and seen these cams go either way. Sure they make more power than stock but almost anything would.

they are inexpensive.
So spending $150 dollars more on a cam is expensive? I have seen people blow money on worse $hit for their cars that do not do anything.

and they last
Do you have proof that they last longer than a custom?

So all the extra work of getting the custom cam is only gonna get a person 10hp in a setup like mentioned above, if they get a sweet one.
Again, is $150 worth 10hp? I think so. Also better drivability, idle, power through the rpm range... the list goes on.
