Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

I saw today on tuners, about graveyards regrind cams. They offer a 272/274/280. The 274 caught my interest, they're $290, and are an in between for the 272 and 280. Now, the old saying, "ya get what you pay for", comes to mind when I'm reading about these cams. What worries me, is the whole regrind thing. Are there any big negatives to using a regrind (I know they use shims to compensate)? I'm trying to figure out if they're even worth my time. If a regrind is terrible, then I'll save myself some reading.
Thanks ahead of time!

..I'm basically looking for pros and cons on regrinds, thought I'd clear it up.

They are the best cams ever. Buy all of them.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Cheap cams like brian crowers are even available... why not just pick a set of those up if you're lookin for cheap?

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Cause I like to be different?...no but seriously I'm more or less just trying to learn. I plan on getting kelfords or hks in the spring. Just want to know if regrinds are at all worth looking into.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

whats wrong with regrinds? I'd like to know.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Remember DKS regrinds? Junk. Move on please.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

just say no

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

tell that to Brad! he went 140mph in the 1320 with them :)

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Great, he probably could have gone faster with something else. Don't be like Bushcur ;) Just b/c something goes X et @ Y mph in the quarter-mile doesn't make it good.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

i still haven't heard any reasons why?

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Ask shane about them then. He had another customer with them who picked up 272ish power.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

X2, I can see you all hate them, but what's the reasoning?

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Regrinds require shims under the lifters.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Got that. Are shims the reasoning behind all this hate? I also know from reading graveyards description, is that they machine off some of the bottom of the lobes, to change the profile of the cam.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Just give Delta a call, regrinds are less than $100 each after the cores are sent back; or you can get brand new ones for $300 a pair. They probably make the cams you're talking about anyways; supposedly they do the ffwd cams, ffwd just charges a lot more since so many people don't know about Delta. http://www.deltacam.com/

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

I say do what ya want here man. Brad had great success with them and I was just talking to Shane about these the other day and he said there have been a handful of cars to make good power on them also. I haven't heard anything bad about them, maybe someone can provide some reasoning behind all this hate ...

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

The DKS regrinds are actually pretty good. They make some good top end power, their "272" cams blow away most 272 style cams. I thought the same thing that since they were regrinds that they must suck. But after a few cars that came in with them made unusually good power and didn't have any wear or other problems, we started using them on customer cars who didn't want to spend big money on cams (BC cams are inexpensive too, but usually dissappointing) and one of our own DSMs.

Theres a link to graveyards post on tuners.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

If I was a baller I'd probably pick up a different cam, but for the price you can't really beat them.

I say pick a set up. I like my DKS regrinds and would rather spend money I saved on cams else where.

Also shimming isn't very hard. The DKS ones you just throw a little washer under the lifter, which is easy if you're already in there swapping cams.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

Interesting company
And good to know

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

http://www.deltacam.com/camshaftgrinding.php?p=3 Interesting video of the regrinding process.
I couldnt see paying HKS for their cams when there are plenty of regrinds making power.
Also being that they are cheap dont mean they wont make power. Even when it comes to those "ebay" intercooler cores. Why pay 200-300 per cam when you can buy pretty much the same ones for 200 for the set.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

So one you opponents of regrinds, care to explain your end? Cause so far, I haven't seen a reason why not to buy a set.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

if they have come around now and do work that would not be to bad of a deal. It is all from before that regrinds sucked big time. I still would not want to shim them to get reginds to work. I just like to bolt in and go. but hell if you did not have to shim them I would try a set for the wifes hatch for the price

lol, Guy in the video reminded me of this

LMFAO! He definitly was surfing earlier that morning.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

So in order to run regrinds you just have to drop in washers under the lifters on the middle part of the head?

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

I might just look into a set of regrinds, honestly I don't see why not. From what I've been reading, regrinds have came a long way from the crap that they have gotten in the past. I'll prob give delta a call and see what they have to say.

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

huh?

Re: Dsmgraveyard.com regrind cams?
 

I guess Id have to find a picture... I don't know what all the parts are called on these heads. now that I think of it, don't the lifters automatically adjust cause of how the oil pressure system works?
