I didn't read the whole thread but I will later, but you can get a solid cam from DElta cams for way less. I would give them a call. Search for Delta Cams.

Just talked to them, $83.50 for a regrind. Just need a solid core

Sealed Power makes solid cores... Not sure which applications, but I know they have them for 3100/3400's

I just ordered one from the 60v6 store, when it gets here i'm gonna send it over to Delta cam for a regrind. He said he was sure he could get me the specs i wanted, and something about 6,000 profies to choose from.

so delta cams.... hmmmm.. i am going to need a nice turbo cam.. anyone have any suggestions?

[AaronGTR]

well.. i got the call i didn't want this morning.


The cores Crane has can't be ground to my specs.. aparently the minium lift they can go is .437 tappet lift, .700@ valve. The cores were made and partially finished. He said it would be too thin if he ground it to my specs.

I've been calling around to a bunch of places and may have some leads. Maybe something to discuss with Ben for the 60v6store as well. I'll post up more info later.

Thats really kinda surprising. Wonder why they made them so huge? They're going to have a hard time selling them with those kind of specs. They'll be sitting on those things forever if you can't have them ground for any less than .7" of lift, thats rediculous.

I have been trying to sell a few rollers in the mall now for awhile. Both cams are under .7 lift too. Closer to 6 actually. One is a Lunati, and one is a schneider

The regrind I ran started to give me brake booster problems. My duration was 230 I and 236 E. Anyone going higher than that better make provisions for an auxillary vacuum tank. FYI my cam was reground by Crane and I did put over 40,000 miles on it with no issues.IMHO I'll take an assembled cam for its lower weight. To me they are all about as strong as they need to be. Also Spring force is regenerative, but the energy required to start rotating a cam is not. Eliminate weight where you can. BTW running LS6 springs and high lifts, I started bending regular Crane pushrods, going to have find something stronger.
