Update on cams

I've been looking into billet cams for the CLS recently and this what I've found so far about our stock cams (from v6performance).

Lobe heights

J32A2: 34.737 (Primary), 36.445 (Vtec), 34.919 (Secondary), 36.389 (Exhaust)

I don't have any extra set of cams (yet), so I can't get them measured for lift/duration and I can't seem to find them anywhere. I know that the AV6 has duration of 194/200 @.050 (non-Vtec) and 215/200 @.050 (Vtec). No lift numbers to be found.

If anyone has a set of CLS cams that they can measure or let me borrow to measure, that would be great. Once I get the specs, the cam shop can make a billet one for me in a couple days and I will do before & after dyno. If gains are significant and people are interested, a group buy of 5-10 minimum can be setup (~$600 or less).

This will be the perfect mod after the chip.

I've asked around and no one knows the exact specs.

Jens, can you possibly find out?

Actually, before the chip would be even better...

Unless changing the cams won't affect air/fuel, timing and all that good stuff. ???

Ronnie are you going more more agressive cams or just replicating our stock internals out of billet for strenght? If you going for power addition as well, please add me to your group buy. Thanks

Jens is looking for the specs.

Well, my plan is to get these cams and do before & after dyno with i/h/e/crank. Then after that, I want to see if the e-manage/chip could fine tune it in case the ECU doesn't adjust well with it.

MtBikR - More agressive of course! I still dunno if I need to change the valve springs...some say yes while others say no. I guess it depends on how agressive, but I don't want a rough idle....

Damn, all Jens could find is the lobe height also. I guess I'll have to find a set to get spec'd. I'll keep you guys updated.
