diffentley a turbo grind cam, yeah looks good. the only thing i don't like is the titanium valves, atleast on the exhaust side. i would change the exhaust valves over to stainless, if it was my motor.

high exhaust temps and titainum don't mix very well. the life expectancy of the exhaust valves will be reduced.
