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.

those calculators are close enough, nothing beats the actually card, and then degreeing it in to make sure the the open/closing events are where they need to be.
