camshafts

Are there any compnys out there that make or can custom grind a camshaft for our cars? I want something wicked that will require upgrades to heads almost as agressive as this magic stick on this vette

Might want to contact PTE, he had custom spec cams done for the M113 that were sold through VRP. IIRC, they were made by Shrick. Also, I'm pretty sure I've read that his cams are about as aggressive as you can get with our engines. I just got around to installing mine a week and a half ago. I'll try to get a cold start and idling vid when the weather is a little better. It's definitely more lopey, but nowhere near like the Vette in the video!

I have the PTE cams and it really does not lope like you would expect a "big" cam. It's more subtle, in s-mode when cold you get a little light surge at idle in drive at a light. If this bothers you..... switch to c-mode and gone.
