No offence but we;ve spent too much time pulling camshafts in and out to tell the world who does our grinding. I have had people call me with LS1's and TB42's, TD42's asking for cam specs so they can buy them through their own suppliers. At the end of the day there is very little margin in this stuff and we need to sell them in order to justify the time spend in R&D. We put 3 camshafts through a TB45 and 2 through a TB42 to get 2 grinds that are our own that work better than what we could find off the shelf.

Cheers

Hi Joel,

With cam regrinds is it only the lift that is increased or the duration as well?

Are your grinds just mild or do you have a wild one?

From your previous post I'm assuming you won't be able to give me an idea of the valve lift of the biggest grind you do?

Lift and duration and Lobe Center angle. Most stock cams regrind with out much issue, material is taken off the base circle. Sometimes for larger lifts or larger variations from stock durations the camshaft needs to be rebuit with spray metal, this gets more pricey. We always reface the lifters at the same time.
