Crower regrinds for h23
i'm planning on staying NA for a while, so i'm considering getting my extra set of camshafts reground by crower. the price is pretty good, but i want to hear some opinions on regrinds.
from crower's catalog:
65014 - CAMSHAFT REGRINDS Twin 4 Cyl (Price per Pair)
- $136.85
Camshaft Hardfacing and Regrinds
Crower is constantly updating it's line up of performance cam cores, next on the list is the Acura RSX VTEC and...if demand is there, 8620 steel billet roller cores for the S2000 VTEC. If your engine make is not listed above, then Crower does not have a cam for your application. A custom Crower regrind may be an alternative. When you supply Crower your stock cam core, we draw on 50 years of camshaft experience to grind the exact profile required for your application. Whether it's cruising (lope at idle) or full race with full NOS shot, Crower has the profile you need. You supply stock core. Available for just about any appliaction and engine make.
Two options:
1. Hardfacing - Welding up stock lobes (if VTEC, mid only) to allow unlimited spec while maintaining stock base circle. Cost $40 per lobe plus $100 per cam for the grinding. VTEC weld is only on mid lobe (8 lobes + grinding = $520 total). You supply stock cores. VTEC specs listed above are available on hardfaced cores. Full drag race, road race, turbo or nitrous. No wear or compatibility issues.
2. Straight regrind- Reduced base circle allows more lobe lift. Limited spec, emphasis on top end power. Typical specs are .005" to .010" more lift, 5 to 10 degrees more duration at .050" and about 5-10 more hp depending on engine mods. You supply stock cores. May require lash caps.

Re: Crower regrinds for h23 (BoostedH23a1)
Why would you wnat Crower? Have you looked at their dyno sheets. Check out those curves....if you can call them curves. If you are going to get a regrind go with Web.
