WTB: Aftermarket Camshafts

 Mon 07 Jan 2013 08:13:54 PM
Wondering if anyones has a set of aftermarket camshafts with bigger lift/duration eg: Tomei, etc. I know you get a set from perfectrun but didn't want to spend that much, so I thought someone may have a set laying around that I might relieve them of. If so please PM me.

Anyone had a regrind of there stocks cams done? if so who did it and how much?

thanks guys
Daniel

Thicker? I've already increased the combustion camber with should drop it a bit and ill get a copper head gasket made. I'm going to get one from O'brien Aluminium who does copper gaskets between 1.2, 1.6 and 2 mm for $150. I'm running an EMS Stinger.
