Default Cam Pricing.

Hey folks. I have been looking into cam shafts for the coupe. I know that Schrick sells them, but it is finding them. So I was cruising a message board for the Porsche 924 (please dont comment) and they were talking about a company called Integral Cams who will regrind and make a cam for you. i asked about what they would charge if I sent them a used cam. They answered $175.00 US. Any thoughts?

Here is their reply email.

We can regrind a used stock cam to stage 1 hydraulic lifter specs, +6
degrees duration and +.005 lift. The cost is $175 and it will take about 2
weeks.

Not too bad... The blau 272 (brand new) with lifters is around $300 IIRC.

I wouldn't go with a regrind, + 6 deg is NOTHING!!!
The stock "NF" cam is 221deg, the Blau is 272deg,
a differnce of 51deg!!!!

Default There's a guy on Vortex who had a custom reground 282* cam put in his 4Kq.

Yes, 282*, not 272*. Man is the idle lumpy, but it does drive sweet...
