Need Your Help About Cams!!!

Ok. So here is the story. I bought a set of Debuloz (JWT knockoff) cams to install in a 3.5 motor. If you are not aware of these cams please see the following links:

Well anyway I was in the the 350z classified and saw some guy selling some Nismo R Tune Cams on ebay. Went to the auction and the buy it now price is $995 shipped or best offer. So I BS around and put a best offer of $600. Low and behold:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...BSAA%3AUS%3A31

I WON!!!!!

Now I get a little skeptical because I am like they can't be the real thing so I post this in the 350z forums:

http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=203239

And after doing further research it seems like this guy is legit because I found this thread in the altima forums:

http://www.nissanclub.com/forums/nis...highlight=cams

So my dilemma is do I just pick these suckers up or stick with what I have. This is a chance of a lifetime but I always think about how chris'max had the issues with the same cams. Not sure what to do. Its only a 2 degree difference (Debuloz@260 Vs. Nismo R Tune@262) but I am really thinking about the quality of the product which I know Nismo has. And if I get these, I am not sure if I can find someone else to buy my other cams. All opinions are welcomed.

Thanks,
Mike

I would say put the nismo cams in, with all the 3.5 swaps going on right now, it doesn't seem like they should be too hard to sell

did i mention i got the car running yesterday.I am not 100% certain that the cam timming is correct but the car cranks and idles steady. The only thing is my vacc now shows 8hg and the car still doesn't sound like it did before, but i guess that is to be expected with these cams and the fact that my exhaust cuttout is leaking. Also it is on a rack off the ground which can change the tone a tad.

JWT 3.0 cams are back in my hands to put on my 3.5L swap project. Forgot to mention, with JWT valvesprings, too. And yes, ARP rod bolts are in the arsenol also.
