That's pretty much what Andrews said ... I asked for advice on how to get better performance - the only thing they would say was (repeatedly) the cam must be installed wrong. So I had it checked by two other shops, both of which said everything was A-OK. This was my only experience with Andrews, other than pushrods, and am now considering a 48H in my 96er ... but am hesitant due to this experience. Will probably go with SE 204 or Woods 222 ... depends on how I feel about more v less valve lift.

You know Andrews grinds most everybody's cams, right? SE used to use Comp Cams............
