[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 14688625, member: 8854"] Well I just don't have an intricate enough understanding or experience with custom cams to know exactly what I'd want in a custom grind. Every shop you speak to has their own ideas and concepts and I have no way of validating or really fully understanding what I'm getting into. The other issue is the cost of cams on these cars and the work involved in swapping them and degreeing them. Essentially the motor needs to be pulled to install them and degree properly (I'm sure someone's done it in the car but can you imagine the headache?). Not to mention by the time you buy the cams, matching valve springs, retainers I'm just shy of $2k and with timing gears, new chains, tensioners etc. I'm well over $2k. It's not really practical at all to experiment with different cams on these cars for the average guy. So that's why I made the choice to go with a known grind from a big house shop. As for degreeing them. It's been suggested a custom degree setup over the card setup to maximize their benefits but I really need to find more people/articles that know this better than I and get more feed back on the subject.
