elgin cams

Anyone ever use camshafts by elgin industries? Enginekits.com is selling cams by this company with their rebuild kits. I was wondering if anyone had any problems with them. Also, any feedback on this company's flat tappet lifters they sell under their powerhouse brand?
Thanks!

I live six blocks away from these guys. Powerhouse is cool if you need a cheap stroker kit or some quick part same day rather then ordering through summit or whom ever else. However most of the stuff they carry is no name products that honestly I wouldn't even touch. Call me crazy but if you have never heard of it likely it isn't all that great.

I've seen alot of circle track guys use them without any problems, I also know of a few local guys running them on the street also without problems. IMHO if your building a budget engine use budget parts, just make sure it's all set up properly and have a good time. my
