Default Experience with colt cams?

I am preparing my b18b for spring time and it already has crane 101-12 cams which are just a bit more aggressive than stock, they make power to 7000 rpms. I am looking for something a bit more agressive that I will daily drive with aftermarket valvetrain.
First I was wondering if I could send out the crane cams to be reground or do I have to send stock cams? Would there be an advantage?
Second I would like some info from people who have experience with colt cams. I have seen some good reviews from very old threads but they have come out with a tri-flow design, which open up 1 valve before the other I believe. They are located in Canada which is should make shipping cheaper.

Any input apreciated.

my colt cam is sick. best thing i ever did to my motor.

send him stock cams to get reground that is what he is expecting. plus, OEM honda cams use the finest quality steel. he offers a 5 year warranty on regrinds. who else offers that?

thumbs up to colt cams!

Nice! In a d16a6? Was it a custom grind and how much was it if you don't mind?

thanks a lot!

it was not custom, it was a race grind from back in the 90s before they even did tri-flow.

their cams now are even better than the one i was using. yes, a6.


i didnt pay for it. it was a friends, and he let me borrow it. i offered him $$ for it, but once he saw how well it worked for me, he wouldnt sell it. but let me use it for 6 months. i was happy, my car went faster than ever, and it was free.

im having Geoff grind me a new cam for my Z6. i asked for torque between 6000-9000rpm. (turbo drag race motor).

Not sur about tri-flow, is this just marketing or does it work? How come no one else does it?
