    With the herrod cams, why did you choose to go with them over the other brands out there, say Crow, for example?

    G'day Gab. The reason I went with the Herrod cams is for two reasons. I wanted better torque and midrange from my Boss motor. I wasn't interested in outright power. Some of the cams that I have seen generate more power but at higher revs. I am not interested in spinning at 6500 rpm all day and not interested in lining up for a "who's got the most power" game that some blokes love. A useable motor with good all round characteristics is what I am chasing. The ute is driven mostly on weekends and I also have some fun on the track. So the the package must be nice to drive around town and the highway but also have some stonk on the track. I think these cams are perfect for this with my current set up.

    The second reason is that I wanted that old school V8 idle without the need for 3 inch exhausts and big lumpy cams. The Herrod cams sound awesome and I have driven in a GT that had them installed. Very impressed with the sound and improved torque and midrange.

    If there was a third I would say that Rob Herrod does great work, so I would back his products day in day out. He has helped me with advice even though I am in Toowoomba. My way of sticking with a business that offers great service and back up.
