Anyone got any? Improvements? Specific details please, I'm considering doing this if it's worth it.

I had my cams ground by Delta Camshaft of Tacoma WA. I dont have any specific info, but they charged me $75 each + shipping so it wasnt too expensive. I am very happy with them. Deltacam.com

new cams are very expensive.

Getting yours reground is far, far cheaper.

I lost the spec sheet they sent me but you only have one choice.

I bought some cams on ebay for $30 to send as cores. When I got them back from grinding I put my old ones on ebay and got $35 for them!:eek:

Ihave a set of cams I reground at delta cams, i think i am going to sell them. they made the idle a little too lumpy for but they did make more power. if you are interested make me an offer.

NO i haven't lowered it yet! im looking to buy an entire suspension kit from flying brick, but my new tranny snd 9lb flywheel last week broke the recreation budget for a while so it'll be some time. i want to it ALL at the same time
