Camshafts?

If I had to weld the cores, then grind them to maintain your stock lifter setup, that would make it too expensive.
Sorry guys.

I'm pretty sure the buckets aren't that expensive.

Wouldn't it be possible to offset grind the cams on their base circles and then use thicker buckets to take up the slack, thereby giving you more lift without running into coil bind?

I don't think you want more lift. With VVTi you might end up hitting the piston.

You have four valves already. Wouldn't better intake and exhaust manifolds with porting give more reliable results?

By all means, see what thicknesses are available, and price them out.
I'll keep an eye on the thread.
Like I said, if I think we can do something, I'm game.
Not sure what you mean by offset grinding the cores.
