I ordered a set of Comp XE262AH cams and springs from SHM on December 29th 2005 and have not yet seen the parts. When I call SHM I feel I'm just being jerked around with "they're on their way", "they just arrived and we're shipping them to you" and so on. Another week or two goes by and I see and hear nothing.

So does Comp have a stock issue? Are they just slow in shipping orders out? A little low on cores? Or is 6+ weeks normal? The whole reason I settled with Comp was the fear that the VTs would be late because they seemed to have been having their own problems with stock...

Thing is, if Comp is really having issues then why doesn't SHM just freakin' tell me this instead of continually yanking my chain like this? Is it worth cancelling the order with SHM and going elsewhere? Who has stock on the 262AHs?

Comp Cams has notoriously been delayed with shipping cams. My car sat at MPH for 2 months waiting on their cams. The specs are awesome, but DAMN they take forever to make them.

I sent an email to Comp asking them if they're delayed but never heard back from them. Going by what you're saying this is to be expected I guess.

I had my comps 4 days after I ordered mine. They might have delays in custom grinds but i've never heard of anyone having to wait for off the shelf cams. I'd suspect this is another SHM BS ploy to divert the heat from them. Try calling Comps Customer Service instead of emailing, not everyone replies to email everyday.

Well, I've ordered things from them before and had no issues, such as my Accufab upper plenum or an install kit for the gears. But dammit I can't help but agree now... A call yesterday and I talked to the same guy I did weeks ago and got exactly the same line: they'll be arriving Friday -- "got a tracking number" -- and "we'll ship them out to you for Monday or Tuesday. I personally guarantee it..." Exact same line as before. When asked for the tracking number so I could see for myself he'd conveniently misplaced it. I have a sinking feeling about this.

droptop, when did you place your order? Like really recently or a while back? Does anyone actually know if Comp is just slow right now?

I've had mine for a few months...but i bet if you were to contact VT or any other Comp dealer they have them in stock. SHM probably is just waiting for a certain amount of orders before placing the order with comp.

Keep calling. Be a pain in their ass. Squeaky wheel may even work with *******s like SHM.

It's about all I can do I guess. Short of simply cancelling my order and going elsewhere that is...
