Do Tomei USA KA24DE camshafts still break?

I’d perform a runout inspection on ANY cams purchased from Tomei USA. A local shop just had a brand new set of VQ cams being installed in a z33 and one of the cams snapped. They were following the FSM procedure and everything.

So on a scale from Godspeed to ARC where does TomeiUSA stand? Are they like a premium Megan?

I'm not sure how the VQ's are, but the Tomei cam installation procedure for the KA is different from the FSM.
