No not yet. It is a shame thay have been making GREAT CAMS for many years. They were around when I got out of high school some 38 years ago. Any one know how long they were in business?

So they aren't closing.  They were bought out and will continue operating.  That doesn't seem like the biggest of news with GM ready to collapse.

Great cams.  Had 310s in my 02 Ultra when I made it a 95cid.  Loved 'em.  Similar to SE203, but came on sooner.  Glad they're still around, but I'm pretty much sold on Bob Wood's cams.  Purple will get TW6G................once we get caught up from February.   :(

Got the 3 series in my 96 wide glide with truit and osborne heavy stroker flywheels, big roll on with lots of torque but I liked the ev27 better and think I will put that one back in.
