Has anyone ever dealt with these guys?:

        Car Products & Specialty Parts
        P.O. Box 96
        Paragonah, Ut. 84760
        (801) 477-8213

They seem to have decent prices, 

Iskendarian (hi-perf) cams are $114.50 each. They have four different ones.
Cam & kit  is  $379  It is not obvious what comes in the kit. (I didn't ask)
Pistons 8.8:1 compression are $213.50/set
Pistons 9.6:1 compression are $224.50/set
Sealed Power Premium Moly rings $48.50/set
Mallory Dual Point distributors $129.50 each
"Full engine rebuild gasket set... BEST brand (American made) with
    ``beaded steel'' head gaskets"  $39.50/set
Offenhauser intakes and stuff: 
        Dual Port #7001  $208.50
        "open plenum..." #5165 $194.50
        cast al. valve covers #5189  $169.50
Edelbrock Performer (no EGR) #2198 $209.50
Cloyes standard timing set $27.50
Cloyes "PLUS" roller set $59.50
Cloyes "TRUE" roller set $74.50



Are these good? The piston and cam prices look good to me, but I have no basis
for comparison on the other parts.

Thanks,
Kevin

P.S. Which intake is the best for performance/street? (What RPM ranges?)
     I will have to meet emissions, but I am pretty good at tuning.

P.P.S. The flier says the 282Hyd. cam has a lopey idle, does anyone have this
       cam? Would you recommend it?
