Stay away from Regrinds! They will kill the fatory valvetrain!

I have JG N/A Cams only gave me 133hp 119tq, with headers, full exhaust, ECU, MSD etc. My advice RUN don't walk away from JG cams. My cams are shimmed to fit (not drop in), and makes for a very noisy valvetrain. These were purchased by the previous owner, but I wouldn't recommend them.

Sucks@0.0Slow? It has just been said that they don't work, what difference does the advertised specification make? With [N/A] power numbers like that, an N/A would be better off buying a Primera intake cam from somebody, maybe with a set of adjustable cam sprockets. I simply don't see their turbo grinds being hot and streetable enough to be worth the torture you'd be putting your valvetrain through to install them.

Okay, that was a prickish thing to say, and I apologize for the tone, but I am loathe to take it back. Why are you so interested? Unless you already have these cams installed and you're trying to diagnose a problem (even though you've already been presented with a solution: get different cams), there's really not much point in pursuing this.

yeah... i have them in the car right now and JWT is telling me to find the specs of the camshafts... and NA and turbo camshafts can totally work different... maybe JG's NA shafts may suck, but maybe its turbo shafts may be a lot better than the NA ones...

I see. I wish you the best of luck, but the odds are still that you're doing wicked things to your valvetrain. ;)

A shitty cam is a shitty cam. Turbo cars and N/A cars do like a little bit different cam specs, but a poorly made N/A cam will be a poorly performing turbo cam.

The JG cams don't suck because of their lift and duration spec. They suck because they are regrinds with no engineering put into them.
