I got a Ze recently, and i am thinking of switching cams. Clicked on the 'mike seli' link but it did not work. Does he still make cams? if so are they better than the colt cams?

Underdrive Pulley!
I love it that everyone that says they hear that they will screw up the engine but have never heard anyone report that they have. I have run them on 3 MX6 LS's and without any problems. Those cars I have logged over 250000 miles. One ran till 198000 until the kid I sold it too ran the crap out of racing it all the time. he finally got a knock in ti but it still ran saying that he ahd ran it like 6 times and was hitting the limiter most every run. I think the teory needs to be put to bed. By the stock unit is NOT a harmonic balancer. It is a dampner. Big difference.

Oh and by the way they do give you nice SOTP gain in the low to midrange. Kind of like adding a lightened flywheel taking off rotationg mass which by the way is where most of the gains come from. Underdriving is said to be only about 15% of the gain. I have also never had an issue with electrical either. Air Con does not cool as much at idle but it is fine otherwise. YOu can however raise you idle speed a little for a compromise.
