I am happy SHO owners have another choice, Is SHO SHOP ripping folks off? I just don't see it that way. I think Vadims' work and pinning is worth $2,000 so factor it in. If we ever get a recall I would expect pinned not welded cams from Ford.
I am rather loath to strike out at someone who provides a reasonable option. I could afford to get my cams welded; So I welded them. I would not turn down a set of pinned cams fro SHO Shop if offered, given my state of poverty.
Picks your choices, pay your monies,
