I remember reading about people on this site getting the Gude head package. Many of them had severe problems with it. I think it pretty much destroyed their low end performance. I think all of Gude's cams are regrinds. Maybe try another company that does custom regrinds. Crower or KMS maybe? I'm not sure.

I am a godfather, but ive never heard of gude before. Sorry i dont base my entire life around my car. But no one still has answered my question, how does gude suck. I need info on someone who has experience with this company to prove they suck.

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
just search.

a few members bought their package...

I think everyone got the regrind though..

and they had bad quality parts coming back to the people... and crappy services too...

u can search on the web for other inputs on gude too.. its usaully a 50/50 thing...

IMO, for NA application, the cost isn't worth it...

I still haven't come across anyone completely satisfy with the 7thgen gude package...

from personal experince with friend..

Gude = poor quality, poor customer service,and major runaround. the car had their full package, and it ran horrible. with little gains whatso ever. they garantee 50 hp too.... but try to call em on it, and they say you installed it wrong or dont know what youre doing. they held on to the core charge for over 3 months for no reason. and was a pain from start to finish. I hope this helped. the cam was a regrind, thats all the offer to my knowledge
