Postby gslender » Fri May 13, 2011 10:42 pm

Having searched around the net, I've not found any NA6 cams? Why is that?

Any cam shop will have grinds ready or will be able to have custom ones made. My recommendation is to go to solid lifters then get some serious cams.

Yeah, they will sound like older hla's, infact it will probably be quieter. They do need checking and adjusting every couple of years thats all. when they get noisy. but you can run MUCH more agressive cams with heaps more lift and duration without all the overlap that makes them hard to drive on the street.
