Hotter cams

Anyone know if any shop would be willing to make hotter cams for our car?

i'm sure if you're willing to provide your stocks as either a core or hard weld/re-grind, and pay enough to offset any R&D costs....there should be no business reason why they wouldn't do this for the CL.

if you call them and know exactly how you want your cams to be...duration, lift, etc., they can build it to your specs.

they did my subaru cams.

Thanks for the info. I just called them and they said $540 to grind my stock one or $620 for billet (?). Either way they want a stock one to see what they can do. All they need is to specify what mods you have, FI or NA, and for track or street.

Anyone have the profile on our cams by chance? Anyone with an extra set of cams?

what kinda of power increase could we be looking at?

GTKrockeTT: how did you know how much you wanted duration, left, etc. on your Subaru?

They said it really depends on what other mods you have and since they never made one for our car, they don't really know.

I just need the profile to send them and then they can tell me how much duration, lift, etc. they would do.

ALLMOTOR - Would you be interested in this? Any ideas?

WEB Cams was the company that COBB Tuning (Subaru specific tuning company) outsourced camshaft regrinds to. COBB drafted up the specs for a mild (NA and FI), and a spicy (NA only) application.

Cams DO work together with other bolt-ons...intake, headers, exhaust, as well has head work, FI, so the level of power increase is really dependent on these.

I couldn't begin to speculate on what type of gains we could see with the CL, but with my Sube, the cams were dyno'd to produce a shade over 10% increase in both HP and Torque.

Sube specs:
DOHC
Duration @ 0.050" 208/218 degrees
Intake Lift 0.355"
Exhaust Lift 0.355"

Thanks for all the into GTKrocke!

If anyone in socal is interested, these guys are in Riverside. It would be great if someone could drop off their cams and they can grind the new one out (either using stock or new billet one). They said if we have more people, they will discount the price.
