N52 performance cams

justpete · 01-23-2015, 06:39 AM

Update on the update -- The regrind is going as far as the case hardening of the OE cams will allow so there won't be a second pass for a race rebuild. That's going to require a billet cam and the cost is too much to consider at $15K-$40K. Nobody in their right mind would go in on a group buy at three to four grand a set.

Want. Any specs, details - time frame?

Nothing beyond what I've posted so far. I'll get an update on the grinding process, figuring it might take a few weeks as they are loaded to capacity at the moment. Will update as I can.

FYI - cams are ready to ship. No schedule for install yet tho.

Awesome updates.

Glad this worked out

That's awesome!!

Very curious to see how this changes the power curve.

Me too. Supposedly increases bottom end torque more than pumping up peak hp. We'll see.

They look too pretty to install, I'd wall mount them along with all my taken off parts lol

So going forward how long do you think the turnaround time will be for regrind once they have either your original takeoff cams or a set of cores. Would be interesting to see if you can get away with 2weeks down time.

Dunno, you'd have to ask Todd, I think.

Trackdays booked through April, earliest it can go into the shop is sometime in May although it might stretch to June.

If you guys aren't following go to e90. Cams are in and doing dyno pulls

andrey_gta · 04-30-2015, 07:17 AM

+1 the early dyno is said to have low end torque gains. The top end lost power but that was expected.

For update information it's probably easier to follow this other thread:
