Largest Regrind from Wade?

[gozza]

Im asking you guys cos i have asked Chris from wade heaps of questions lately.

What regrind gives the most power?

[gozza]

..........................

[steven95falc]

1521a if you have the rest of the gear to go with it

[EFFalcon]

1521a isnt a regrind.
or atleast they don't like doing it as a regrind, they prefer to do it as a billit.

[gozza]

yeah they won't do the 1521a

i have valve srpings...high stall...fuel pump...injectors and chip all in mind so don't worry bout the informalities...
just wanna know the most powerfull regrind

[BABOSS]

Me thinks JMM DEV 5+ cams are the most street legal powerfull cams, or does he get his cams from Wade? :

[steven95falc]

Sounds strange to me as i had a 1521a in bout a year ago and keith had no drma's doing it as a regrind as long as it was on a stock cam and that i machined the pedistals instead of shimming it due to changeing lifter angle to much ? ?
Maybe he has had a problem with them reground as i ran it for all of one month before i got around to changing it as it was far to big for my aplication. Jmm would be the most powerfull reground cams around by far but at a cost also apparently he used to get wade to do them in the early days but he hasnt for ages (that is romour) have no idea but he doesnt use wade thses days

[Kenno]

what is machining the pedistals???? back to the mans question, is it a 1636 or something???

He sure does :

good luck getting Wade to grind you a dev5 up.

and the dev5 is by no means the most powerfull street legal cams.

Not likely. The one im eyeing off is under 525thou and i may need to flycut the pistons.......got duration?

[gozza]

ok..im lost....i don't care...im getting 1636

Dont. Get a 1004-114 you'll regret you didnt if you get the 1636

[gozza]

ok then lol
why the 1004-114?

[94EDxr6]

if you ring up wade they will even recommend the 1636 over the 1004-114. The dude told me that "we have advanced past that"

[gozza]

yeh well wtf then?
thats what i was told
why do you guys prefer the 1004-114

[TUFED6]

Who's going to be the first to run a 300ish degree duration cam in a 4.0?

Sounds like Walkinshaw...

[dansince86]

gozza what high stall do u have? whats the stall set @? what car is it on and transmission?

[gozza]

lol EB I6 4.0
was thinking stall but im not gonna bother now
bit of a waste me thinks
normal 4spd slusher

[heckaz performance]

With a 300deg cam you would make peak power at 6500 rpm, and you'd want it to be able to rev past that to at least 7000rpm. Not gonna happen without at least a set of ARP rod bolts. Would give a lot of turbo boys a scare but and would probably be able to run 12's sorted. Ivan Tighe, and Clive cams also offer regrinds. The biggest streetable cam would be bugger all larger than 230deg @ 0.50" as power would be so close to the rev limiter its not funny. Unless you are going rods. Thats my opinion any others?
anyone running more than 0.530" lift?
Go for 0.50" specs as cam names don't mean sh*t.

that would be me, i have a surecam custom turbo grind... and its a fukn whopper!!!!

its 303deg advertised
240deg from memory at 50`
and has 572` lift

OH BOY, it going to be runnign in about 1 week,

Oh, by the way, i had to grind out the underside of my rockers due to the engine not being able to turn over due to the lobes hitting the rockers... LOL

[ebs_4l]

i was atleast expecting someone to comment on this^^^^ LOL

Hey bloke when i put the reground 1521a in i ground the rocker pedistals down to make up the clearance and found i had to grind them down the cam jurnel due to the cam hitting poor thing was i didnt think of it until i reassembled it.

What LSA is that cam ground on and do you have the timing specs for it?

With your 240deg cam, is it a hydraulic or is it now a solid cam? Have you flycut the pistons. I’m assuming you’re running dished pistons (being turbo) but what piston/valve clearance do you have? I was talking to Crow Cams, they have a 230@50 cam (75/35 timing) and say that even with the low lift version (528thou, not 616 or 650, 616/650 are 235@50) that flycutting of the pistons will be needed.

I know a guy with an EB XR6 who had a large billet cam in his ride for a few yrs now. Sold the car to buy an XR6T though. He claimed that he had to die grind the head to allow the cam lobes to not hit the head deck. Have you had to do this?

[Gunns]

biggest wade regrind is a 997b.

My cam at 530thou lift only has 15thou clearance to the deck. So it does not supprise me.

I run 524thou on a Billet, to be honest I never checked/looked at that clearance. Based on your 15” clearance, I would only have 18ish :| (If they both have the same basecircle)

[ebs_4l]

i have no problems at all with P.T.V clearance, cos i have a 2.5mm headgasket..

the cam is 114deg LSA

it has minimal clearance to the head, i did check it with a feeler gauge cos i thought that may be what it was jamming up on, but it wasnt... being billet i havent had to alter the pedestals at all, ive got a photo of where it was hitting

oh, and its not solid, still got std hyd lifter

that was the intial grinding, i had to do it 3 times all up to get it to clear
