Isky Cams are the best.......
They have been around and used in every type of race car in the US and other parts of the world for yonks....
One of the few camshafts around that you can check individual lobe timing and lift on and come up trumps every time......
I would use Isky cams in preference to any other brand, bar none....
do take the time though to run it in.
cheers

No dealers in Aust that i know of.
I'd buy an Aussie cam from Crane Aust or COME racing and get one perfectly matched to YOUR engine not just a Zook engine and have local backup and warranty.
If you are fitting quad carbies (off a bike) you really want a twin cam head so you can adjust each cam individually like in bikes to get the MOST out of it.

I forgot.......
not sure about local dealers.......every time I get one I import it from the US directly from Isky, although its been a couple of years since the last one.
I will however be ordering another one shortly for a new project, so I will find out I supose if things have changed

I would never bother with an off the shelf cam of any brand, go custom it's not as expensive as you'd think.

Isky are the masters of custom cams..... tell the timing and lift you want and it will be supplied.....
Have tried most of the local stuff , and it simply isn't as good.
but I guess its ok if you don't want the import hassles and wait time.....

Just remember that with a cam swap.. what you gain in top end you lose in bottom end.
