Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Group Buy Who's looking to buy hotter than SVT cams?

Just got my sick 3L Hybrid built, lots of head work and I bet the motor will definately love some hotter cams so depending on wether I'll sell the Tour or not by then, I to will/may be interested in this. I'm sure 20hp on my motor shouldn't be a problem.

Remember that the reason why the cams will cost a lot is:

1) Low run numbers. They can't make as many cams for us and sell them as they can for a Honda B18C, for example. Or a 350 shortblock.

2) Amount of cams: We have a dual overhead-cam motor. That means two cams for each bank. Two banks. That's =4= cams. A Chevy 350 has 1 cam. A DOHC Honda motor has 2 cams.

I would so drop the cash if I had it.

Yes, very well said!! Thanks for the adding that!

I've never dealt with reground cams before so (not to sound stupid) what kind of changes can be made ie. lift,duration,overlap? How can you increase lift by taking metal off?

You can only change lift. The lobe is re-ground and it's "profile" is altered, allowing a + or - in lift, depending on what you want. With us, we could use a tad bit more lift. How much we can get is unknown at this time as I have not ventured in that direction yet. We have to get them CNC machined for various reasons, and if it comes down to this option then, so be it. I am still confident we'll get a new cam

I'm intersested. I've also sent in a request sheet to Comp Cams.

hey swazo, just wondering what happened to this group buy...

Still working on it and playing email tag

Any news? Just keepin an eye on this to see how things develop.

Prices are just too high for it to be practicle so as of now I give up trying to get new cams produced. As for the regrind goes, I am a tad busy with a few other projects to devote anymore time to getting some done. So for now, SVT cams will have to do.........
