just kidding man... it will take alot of your time


haha ;D

i did a quick search on HT and it looks like delta charges between 60-90 bucks per cam, i didn't know it was that cheap, the time it would take measuring and grinding would suck, i think im gonna just pay

but when i do decide to blow my motor (2 complete spares, 4 heads, no problem) i'll be sure to post a link to the vid 8)

ive built myself a t3 kit on a 90 integra 11psi, so everything im saying would relate more or less to what ive built

what if you take stock b18a cams and drill and tap holes in the center of the peak of each lobe....thread in a stud with thread lock and have the stud sticking out, round the end and check for peak lift on all lobes with a caliper


turbo cam? O0

are you ------- kidding me? seriously?

Ahh, the good old days of the "belly grinds"...holdin the cam against your stomach and hittin it to the bench grinder. Takes alot of practice to get that down pat. :P

i didnt think it was that crazy, if i really want to prove this will work or wont i can always try it on the cam in my spare car (91 chev sprint 3cyl), 6 lobes on 1 cam then rev the piss out of it, but its a little different in there, the lobes hit the valves directly, no rockers

You're welcome. They have the best prices that I could find. It will cost me like $80 - $90 for a custom grind of a 59 Corvette solid lifter cam.
