I just wanted to post this for every one to see, and those that might be interested. I sent two identical requests to CraneCams as well as CompCams, and below is the response from Crane. I sent these out because of all the interest I see in the J-Spec cams, and the lack of support from those that are trying to sell them in the US. If we can "get on" these companies to produce some performance cams for our cars, they will be a LOT easier to get a hold of, as well as get reliable power increases.

First off, let me say that I sent this identical request to CompCams, and
they didn't want to help me.
