That's just lobe height ,you can't see how agressive the lobe angle is...

Regrind always gives the highest hp gain.

Yes they regrind it to your current engine specs so it's always the most accurate cam for your specific engine.Which always gives the highest gains.Firebass wrote:regring u mean remove the my current cam and take it to an enginner to make "wild" these ends ?

Re: Cams for D14
why concider a regrind...
by the company kent cams you can get a brand new custom cam made of your wishes for 200 euro's was told me.
and even at bisimoto's i believe u can buy lobe ungrinded precast and grinded cams, i would never ever concider weldin'up ore chrome up an old cam when u can have a brand new custom cam for a reasonable price.
and i have read that in polen there was a D14a3 with 122 bhp an 137 Nm of torque with a weird cam ore something?
on my last dyno i reached 122.5 bhp and 148 Nm of torque with stock cam BUT with bad bad bottom end (ask joris:P) oil usage of 3 litres a month because of worn piston rings....

Take a look at crower cams and watch how the cam core shifts .
A good brand new core cost a lot of money ,why do you think Bisimoto regrinds them so much.It's done by proffessionals not some random grinding withouth calculating the reliability of the cam.Level 1 and 2 are regrinds ,level 3 and level X requires welding.
A OEM cam is perfect , almost all aftermarket cams have faults in them .
And a brand new cam for 200Euro from Kent cams ?Thats only a regrind you get from Kent cams.Brand new will cost a lot more then that.And you don't even need that.A level 2 regrind is not even grinded that much that i would consider buying a brand new core.IF you're talking about level 3 or 4 or x or something that requires hard welding then i would consider buying a brand new core.
