decent lift and duration on the exhaust, basically what the GT-40P's need most.

make sure you check PtV clearance though

Its a regrind, i know they dont get the best of reputations but for the money, and my budget figured i ask you guys what you think. I was hoping for a little more duration, and do you think with the ext lift .540 would that be pushing the tfs valve springs, max is .542?

I ve looked around, I can get this cam for around a hundred bucks. Just don't want to make a carbon copy of someone else's car. I like the tfs1 cam, comp etc, but that's 200 plus. I mean what do you think about the regrind and the specs? Is it worth looking into?

That exhuast lift of .540 and the spring max being .542 is too close for me.
Spring should be something that ok to at least .550.........

Thats what i thought, just wanted to ask. I might just look for a grind that has less on the exhaust side. I think i might just look into regrinds, instead of a off the shelf cam. they're cheaper, and i have more control over lift and duration. Just seems every thread i read, e303, tfs1, comp, that what works for everyone with the same results. If i can save money and still get a decent cam with a regrind even better. Thanks for all the help guys.
