youll probably want reasonably high lift with short duration to increase cylinder pressure which should = more torque

Wade can do it but as far as I know they don't have spec for a torquer type cam. Tighe Engineering in QLD do grinds for these cams but the problem is they don't add material and grind to suit but just remove material and by doing that reduce the size of the base circle that can cause you to break your rockers. Go on ask me how I know
I had them do a grind for me and it felt REALLY flat below 3000 rpm but still went OK'ish after that. I thought it just needed some work on the cam timing. I've just done a 1000km's and went to re-torque the head bolts and found a broken rocker
Had someone who knows these engines and modifed cams have look and he told me the cause having been through this problem in the past. He is sourcing some replacement parts to remedy this for me and then we will run it up on the dyno and fine tune the cam and ignition timing.
