Theres no doubt in my mind that JMM stuff is good, but there customer relations are absolutely rock bottom. I very much doubt you would get the same service and quality brendan did. I've never dealt with more unprofessional people in my life. I ordered my JMM DEV5 package, $3k worth of gear, and 3 months later i actually got it in the post. And then theres the incident where JMM royaly f**k me when I tried to sell that package to an AU owner, But thats another story all together, if you must know what happened have a search through off topic, its in there somewhere. Yeah fair call. There stuff is of pretty good quality from what i've seen, all bad things i have heard of JMM its all there customer relations, i've never heard of bad quality products. Alot of R&D has gone into there products so i dare say it would be good stuff.

I'm running a DEV 4 cam in my XR6 and i am dissapointed to say the least, although I'm not sure that it is dialled in correct as my mechanic said he needed the specs which I didn't have. I wanna see an RPD cammed car run a low 14 before I will even half consider one of there cams.
If you look at the 1/4 mile times on fordforums.com.au in the e-series section i think 7 out of the top 10 NA i6 E-Series cars are running JMM cams. |

There are more than 2 cam grinders on this planet. The quickest if i recal has give or take, 150rwkw. Not 170rwkw like JMM's $5500 dev 5 kit, which goes to show it comes down to the drivers skills, and the way the rest of the drivetrain/suspension is set up.

Suit Performance Street Drivers. **
and it costs you $2725 fitted by JMM or $2027 mail order the RPD RSPEC1 cam with your off the shelf ESA 2.5 inch exhaust, pacie extractors, K&N panel filter and 3 inch intake made 146kw for about $300 less then the mail order dev3 that only gives 134kw. the dev3hl needs an extra $220 to catch up |

im refering to OED666's car, manual ED.
ran a 13.8 i think, if i read right he has a custom grind surecam that is rather large, a chiptorque chip, and about 150rwkw. Dont know what diff setup or anything like that.

well with the mods i've done to my car, jmm reckons I should have 172rwkw going by his pakage however sum1 with the same car pulled 149rwkw with the exhaust system only, unless jmm's cold air kit gains an extra 23rwkw, I reckon he jacks up his figures.

Isnt that list for streetable falcons though? The JMM EB has no interior, swaybars, and runs a cam that is in no way suitable for the street. Its a race car, gets trailered to and from track.
