Haha I'd love to in exchange for parts, but at the same time then I'd also feel like I'd cheapen my opinion, as many would see me as 'selling my brand' if I was associated. I'd rather just be a positive 3rd party supporter (if that makes any sense)

Most certainly. Tomei is about the only other cam company (and HKS on the low end) I'd really suggest in regard to cams. The fact he lives in Japan certainly puts Tomei to the front of the pack as it's certainly much cheaper there, and their support is close. The only thing that I have an issue with Tomei is where they measure their total lift at...their listed durations often aren't the same at traditional lift points...not to say it's bad, just different...260's really perform like tradition 256* duration, and 264 more like 260* and so on.

Also like Cody, I'm not a fan of BC components, and would rather see you get either new oem valve springs, or tomei/hks ones should you be set on replacing them.
Most certainly! Bottom line BC stuff is entry level garbage. Sure it's cool to use if you want to increase your signature list, but the reality is they are no better than OEM. I'd suggest matching springs with cam companies...that is, Tomei cams = Tomei springs, JWT cams = JWT springs (for C series), etc etc.

I've got personal friends who like Supertech stuff, and all exclaim their products to be good, but I personally have no experience with them...so I'll refrain from any review.
