My doomed 408 build

Well we all know Hughes is a massive repacker. They don't make their own cams they may send the recommended designs to somebody who makes them but they certainly don't grind them in house. They get somebody like where I go to Oregon cam have them ground and sell them as they're hot ticket for way too much money...
I honestly don't think $169 for a mechanical camwas to over priced.
My thoughts are buy from some placethat offers a flat cam guaranty. I priced many diffrent combos on jegs, summit, mancini, e bay, they all came to a grand. My cam is wiped several lifters are damaged. I have to do a full valve train rebuild. I rather buy once cry once with some sort of guaranty. I have taken a massive beating with this car starting with how much I bought it for. I need some sort of warranty for something.
