Funny, I have the exact same question! TTT. And your Highness CrapBox (or would that be "your excellency?"), what did you mean by the question of how much we are willing to spend? I can get a custom grind for ~$450. I would pay a few hundred more than that if I was convinced that I could get something special. (Ed from flowtech, I'm looking in your direction)

I was unaware that speed inc had cam experts that would match a custom cam to a given setup and application. I thought they just had access to a wide array of "shelf" cams and could order a comp cam for you...

Correct me if I was mistaken.

Spoke to a number of folks about heads and cams. Allan Futral was the only one that would not give an opinion until he had all the details of the car and application. I do mean everything.

What is wrong with speed inc. That is where I planned on going to get my cam installed and then have them tune my car. Where else is there to go? I am not installing myself, I would just screw it up.

(sorry to break in on your post)

Yeah, I'm sure that plenty of people have things to say about speed inc (myself included), but since they don't make custom cams, then I think it is irrelevent to THIS thread.
