hey i want to cam my car, but what would be a nice sounding lumpy cam that wont cost a bucket load, i want to spend about a grand

cheeers bud, or
what would you spend the 1000 bucks on?

[Andrew426]

You can get a cam regrind for less than 300 bucks, so I would probably spend the other 700 on liquor and whores.

I'd buy a running VS wreck and transplant the ecotec and tranny.

regrind is when your old cam reground for the lift and duration you want, then use either longer pushrods, shims or higher ration rcker arms to make up for the missing stteel. I havent explained it very well, but think of it as getting your old cam recut, instead of buying a new one and getting it ground to spec.
