How many of you guys are using them? I've heard that comp cams rollers are too agressive and cause premature valvetrain failure. What do you guys think? Which cams are you running?

I don't think so. If you have a high lift cam you should upgrade the springs. It's not the cams fault.

I have the XE270HR-14 cam in mine. It's only been about 2 weeks since the motor went in, and the car was running slower times than the old motor, but the idle sure does sound mean! (sorry, if I don't laugh about it, I'm gonna go nuts lol)
