Cam Regrinding

Your on the right track but its not as easy as it sounds. Most of the times stupid parts that are hard to interchange end up not matching up. Your buddy with the SS has cams, most likely, from JBP. They kinda suck and hurt your car more than help it. On top of that they cost as much as a solid gold panda. GM tells you how to make HP with this car but everyone always thinks they're smarter than GM that has tons of smart people working for them so they go different ways. GM says to regrind cam blanks to some specs I already have but I was just looking for a shop that could do it locally. If it can be done to an LSJ, I've either seen it first hand or done it first myself to my car. I know im a newbie on here but I'm one of the first with these cars to start playing with it and making power. Also blew my engine up in the process lol. Thanks for the help though guys.

I woulda bought one and made 500hp in 2 seconds but wheres the fun in that? 
I like being the first person to do stuff to this car and pioneering things, plus I'm one of "those" guys on my forum. You gotta have a twin turbo with a 500 shot of nitrous to be one of those guys on here jeez. lol.
Or have a hot looking set of rims on a red camaro with a sick *** center exhaust kit, but who the hell has that around here?

I'm sure you are aware of his little bro's Ion turbo set up.
They are preparing to go crazy with that car, and last time we talked he had some good cam info on those cars, but I am not 100% sure which heads the cams are available for.
Give him a hollar and see what he has to say.
