If you have to pull out shitty cams every year and mess with them or replace them you aren't really saving anything by going cheaper.

I never said that the HKS cams aren't good, were done by accident, or were defending the DKS cams. I've never even seen a "DKS" cam. I was defending the idea's and misconceptions about regrinds and small companies doing QUALITY research and development.
HKS cams are cheap compared to what new grinds for my car would cost (small market, $1800 for blank cams, no profiles!). Regrinds are a great choice for small/undeveloped market, because the research and development can go along ways before you start making lobe changes, etc (aka FP's cams).
I'd just go with a proven cam company if it were me. There are enough offerings out there to not even have to think about regrinds.
Heck, you can buy hks cams used for $300-400 if you dig around enough.
