The Potato

Another Woodie, I live in Friendswood. The shop is not even 5 minutes from my house.

A cam is a bump on a circle. When the lifter is riding on the circle, it's at zero lift. As the cam rotates, the lifter slides over the bump. Regrinding a cam is making the circle smaller, in order to make the bump bigger so it can be reshaped.


Basically, you're making the bump on the camshaft bigger.

So shaving the sides down? Would this be as good or better then gettting a all new cam?

ok i understand it now! Ok thanks potato!!

or you can buy a custom reground cam from SuperSixMotorsports for $550 which will probably be better than a reground stock cam (not sure).

Here's their catalog:

Well if you are going to go F/I why don't you just wait until you can just get a whole motor from there that is race preped with everything you need for around 16 lbs of boost? Thats what I would do anyways. Sometime I want to do that rather than swapping for an eight cuase if I did that I wouldn't have to change a whole lot more of other stuff.
