you have proof to back up these statements?
i have only heard of one set of rocket cams breaking and that can almost 100% be attributed to install error. any set of cams can break when installed wrong.
my cousin's set of m22x are freakin beautiful and very good quality. they are on a made to order basis.

From this thread http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1428324 the pics are gone but the cam lobes had a total shift.
They are not made to order, he just makes a bunch and sells them until he needs more. When I got my M22x's I got sent to exhaust camshafts. After sending it back I brought the intake cam into the shop and the cam was biting into my cam cap. I finally just gave up and returned the cams. At least customer service was good.
The valvetrain was tested in so cal when I sent my head to get ported. The porter previously refused to install any RM stuff in the head but he said he would test it. I guess he had bad experiences with the rm gen 1 stuff. But I had bought the gen 2 and was told it basically had the same specs as Supertech stuff. Can't say for sure where he gets his valvesprings and retainers made tho.
Any number on your cousin's setup? I am curious about your setup as well.

my cousin was putting together a b20vtec with 11.5:1cr and the m22's. i've lost touch with him so i dont know what he's done with it since.
