I saw that sundance6G72 was talking about this in his build thread but I didn't want to clutter his thread all up. Some things have changed for me and I have a little wiggle room to do some mods to my car. I have the top end partially apart right now to replace head gaskets that I blew 2 months ago. I'm currently porting the plenum and I think I'd like to do some more mods while the car is down.
Ok I'm really looking to get some cam regrinds but I have a few questions. I know a few people have had this done and I'm curious about details.
1. I've read Crower and RPW were doing regrinds but I guess RPW is austrailian based and therefore turnaround would be much longer. Turbovanman also had some options I think, not sure if they were regrinds though?
2. It seems as though I have a unique situation since there are very few Non-turbo V6's with a 7k rev limit let alone nitrous on top of it.
3. Rick Lozier's cams come up in almost every thread about cams but facts are hard to come by. No one seems to know if the cams were any good past 6200 or so or if it had any street manners.
4. Cost seems to be around $150-$200 for (2) regrinds. Wondering if this is still the case?
5. I have a spare set of cams from my header mock up motor. They are from a 96ish van. Any problems with sending these out to get regrinds?
I just sent this message to Crower.
Hi there, I am very interested in getting (2) camshaft regrinds. This would be for a '94 Dodge Shadow 3.0 V6 SOHC. (6G72 engine ID). Stock rev limiter was set at 5800 rpms but my rev limiter is now set at 7000rpms. I want to take full advantage of my new found rpms. The car does have intake and exhaust modifications as well as 75hp shot of nitrous. I want it to remain streetable so I don't want to only make power above 5k rpms or anything. Would something like 2500-7000 be possible? I am planning on uprading valve springs as well as mild head porting while I have the top end apart. Please let me know turn around time and approx. cost. Thank You!
P.S. In case you haven't seen before. I am running a socketed ecu from shel-game with a 7k rev limit. The factory map was NOT changed at all. Shel-game says the car should run up to 7k but it will run with the same fuel/timing as it does as 6k. I have not driven the car with the new ecu yet, but I do have a wideband installed and will report back with results of how the car reacts about 6k.
