Default cams easy start for TC
has anyone used the S&S easy start cams in their motor or know someone who has? Sounds too good to be true. They have been out awhile and im considering an upgrade.

Yep, The imports have had them for years as target64 mentioned and the V-Rods also came from the Moco with them.
Cheers to S&S for bringing that feature to the T/C world.
