cams spring time? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Well I called the number and they offer 3 types of cams. N/A , low boost , and a high boost cam. But they are regrinds. The high boost cams you will hear that nice lobe sound and it requires a machine shop springs, valves, retainers since its a higher profile. $1400 for the cams.

The number is 561 721 5456. Its a shop in south Florida like he said.

thanks for the info

No just the cams.

dabocx · 01-06-2014, 05:27 PM

Would really love to see the diff between the low boost and high boost ones.

Tomei should have something soon. According to tomei usa, japan is in the testing phase. We had started some regrinds but the price was too crazy to make it to production.

We were told maybe Feb, they will have something but nothing is promised.

These cams are made by a company who been doing cams for over 40 years. So if nothing else comes out by spring I'll be buying my cams from Olympic motorsports. That be nice if Tomei came out with cams next month. Whats a ball park price you think?

Can I be there when you do? IDK why, since day one, I have wanted to be able to rev the motor to 9000. I just want to hear what it sounds like.

I want to hear what it sounds like with 3inch exhuast and headers and a choppy cam lol

Oregon Cam does regrinds for about $200/ set. Ken is the owner and a great guy to deal with. We built several cylinder heads for another platform with 3.4mm oversized exhaust valves, Comp springs, porting etc... this required the machine shop to cut new seats, but the flow improvement made T3 turbos spool like a T2. Incase anyone doesn't know this already, regrinds don't change the overlap, just the lift height. They are only turning down the base circle to make the lift higher. But its a very economical solution. If you have a capable machine shop close by, they should be able to help. $1400 for regrinds is just ridiculous.

$200 sounds to cheap to be true. Plus I had my tuner call Olympics to see if it was legit. He said if nothing comes out we be getting cams done with them.
