I've done some searching off site and have not been able to come up with anything for the NA. Do you have to get custom grinds or am I just not hitting the right sites. I'm thinking future project and want to know what kind of options that I might have. Thanks in advance.

So are the regrinds a stock cam or are they a different grind. I know that custom cams can be made but they aren't cheap.

re-grinds use your cams as a starting point and reduce the base circle to give the cam a different profile. Search, you will find excellent information on this site, much better than I could ever explain.

A regrind is taking your original cam and "re-grinding it" to your specifications.

This makes the cam area smaller, so lash caps are required under the buckets to make up the difference.
You can send in your cams to many cam companies for this.

We also sell cams already done for $400 a pair, including the caps.

What are the specs on them. I want to know what is out there before I do any thing with my car. I have an idea of where I want to go but I also want to know what I'm getting myself into.

I have read lots of posts on cams. Most of them have the word cam in them and have not bearing on what I am looking for.
If I wanted to just lay out money I would have two new cams cutom ground.

My dad'a a master technican for Toyota and He did head work and a TRD cam in my truck. If your trying to get a lot of power out of an Na then these aren't the way to go. They are slightly modded but still legal for emissions in all 50 states. They get you more power but mostly at high RPMs. The prices are what he can get them for but as far as the genral public I have no idea on the prices. If you want some real power go with HKS but you will probably need computer work and different ingition.

Come on... this isn't a 22r. The cams available for 7M's are few and far between. TRD made some, they were Grp.A cams and think about spending $1000 for the pair if you're lucky.
HKS, again, made cams. But again, look to spend about the same as TRD.
Computer work and different ignition? ....

Regrinds are the way to go today. Either that or get a set of Brian Crower cams from the HPF group buy.

I am going to run the Brian Crower 272 and 9.52mm lift cams in my NA will see how they go, yes I know they are designed for a turbo engine.

TODA and Ted's are one of the few that still manufacture cams for 7mge's but they want about $1,000 Australia or $750 US a piece which is a joke.
