eeew.. its a DH cam... yuck...

and looks to be just a reground cam.. which i dont belive will yeild too much gains..

basically they will make it so your valves open and close faster... not open taller..
or longer...

plus dh racing has a nasty reputation for not doing ANY r&d

bah, everyone rides billet cams nuts. a regrind will get you more duration as well as lift reliably as long as they are hardfaced. I have a Crower hardface regrind for my F22B1 before there were cams avail for the Accord VTECs that plus more boost and a better fuel system netted a jump of 120hp and 100ft/lbs. Mind you this is with only 8# more boost which really should be only around an 80-90hp gain depending on the turbo.

BUT.. keep in mind.. this is DH racing we are talking about.. not crower...

crower is a much more reputable company... as i stated before, dh has a nasty reputation for not doing r&d

Dh just sends the cam to crower. There is no way they do that work themselves. Regrind is crap anyway. Wait for the real thing.
