Default LV3 cam?
Hi,
Does anyone knows anyone who knows anyone that can make me a custom cam for LV3. (Basically Gen 5 L83 with two cylinders chopped off).
There are no cores available, so the work must start from billet bar.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

That's the last resort i'm trying to avoid as I need ~0.130 more lift and also quite a bit more duration, the base circle will be too small to my liking after the new lobe is situated inside the oem lobe. Also, new tempering is needed, as more that 0.06" is taken from the cam and induction hardened OEM-s are soft beyond that by my knowledge.

Drag racing, so no prolonged use.

Anything new on this? I have tried several vendors and either get "no thanks" on that project or no answer period. I am just looking for a way to remove the DOD/AFM for my LV3 that is going into my S10 rally truck.

Any updates on this thread? Will be installing a LV3 into a MG midget for autocross and was seeing if there was anyone having luck with regrinds?
