Default Special cam grind

I am looking for a vendor who can grind me a cam that meets the Z06 specs 204/218 551/547 LSA 113.

I have talked to Comp and Crane and the cannot do this. This is the same as a stock Z06 except the lsa is 13 in lieu of 117.5.

Any help is appreciated.

Did they give you a reason why they can't grind you a cam to these specs? I thought that Comp Cams will grind you anything?

They said they could not meet the lift and duration with the stock materials they start with. I told them I know it is being done because they are being made for GM every day.

I've had Comp grind two custom cams for me in the last few years so I have some experience with them. They have a list of LS1 cam lobe numbers with corresponding durations and lift that you can mix and match from. However, if what you want isn't there, they won't grind it for you.

Closest they can come is 206/218 544//561 113

I need to stay with the Zo6 specs to stay in group II in any NCCC races. Probably close enough unless you are a record breaker. I don't think I need to worry about that.

I had a custom cam grind done at More Performance in NC. 704-393-8241.

Motor Machine also has a cam master program and can get a cam Grind for the least amount I've seen anywhere. 520-792-1156. Ask for Denny.

The cam I had done at More Performance worked flawlessly. Ask for Mike Osucha.
