Yeah i was thinking the same thing, im pretty sure he is getting them welded though but ive heard horror stories about this kind of thing,
Welds breaking off! DUN DUN DUNNN! :yikes:

Welds cannot break off on a welded camshaft. If I showed you two cams, one welded and one not. You could not tell which one is. The weld becomes part of the lobe and is re-ground to the same finish as a cast or billet cam. Welded cams are usually stronger than the original cam. The welding wire is a high quality steel, not a "chilled cast" like the oem. Also, the cams are heat treated after finishing.

Okay, so i was lied too, or the ones the chevy boys in town where running weren't high quality product.

Ill bet the second part, knowing the local muscle head boys in my area. Yes, they even called my car a Camaro wannabe one time...

Seen a pair of welded cams listed here in the for-sale section last year that were horrible.
Don't remember who the guy had do them, but there were super rough welds on each shide of the lobe surface.
The edges of the lobe were not even strait, they kind of zig-zagged where the welder had not laid down enough material.

Just like everything, some people know what they are doing, some don't.

When I can find a box I'll have a set of TED 268 cams for sale with springs and shims.
Proven strong, came off a 7m with 800+hp and under 2000 miles.
Wanted them for my build but I'm goin nat2j.
