Depends on what you consider downsides. They have poor low lift flow rates compared to vortecs, which with street sized cams is a big deal. Putting bowties on a stock cam engine would most likely make less power.

I remember buying my set of vortecs from Scroggin back in like 1998. $400/set fully assembled. Ahhhh the good o'l days.
