^ At $800 each (x2 !), they are pricey. Easier and cheaper to regrind camshafts here. We're doing a set for a customer now.

Now the hidden cost is that you may need to relieve the head to fit the 9.5mm cams, the taller lobes can hit the head casting. We have used a regrind before, works fine, and other than shimming the lifters you don't need to touch the head.

^ That's right the price did come down. I still say it's pricey compared to sending off a couple of cores for grinding, especially if the head doesn't need corresponding work.

What about just getting MI to make a Head with +1 mm valves, a set of custom ground cams, and a port and polish? then it should be as simple as making sure the cams are clocked right, the head is torqued down to spec and the timing marks line up, then go go go.
^ just saying, if we ask enough they eventually will have to supply to the demand.

Ok a friend was telling me that the scion xb 1st gen the exhaust camshaft have more duration the same valve lift but longer the time to close the valve. I am interested in jun cams but the thing that is keep me worried is the lift since the piston are a lill bit higher the valve could hit the pistons...

Thanks for posting again Nanoss!
Does anyone have specs on the cams? I did a quick search and couldn't find a FSM.
