umm fyi, no one makes drop in cams for the lsj. You can find the GMR cams but those are rare now. Basically all you can do is have comp cams or something like that do regrinds for you.

All cams out there currently are reground stock cams. There are no "new" aftermarket LSJ cams and there never have been. Comp re-grinds stock cams to custom specs, which is great. Call them, they can set you up with something that will work well for your plans, but you will need to send them a stock set of LSJ cams and have them ground to your specs.

Any regrind LSJ cams, unless they are very minor (almost stock, not agressive), will require solid lifters. BLE Products makes a set.

Technically, the GMR cams are a blower grind. It is just referring to a type of grind, usually a generic reference to cam charecteristics, overlap, duration, LSA, that kinda stuff. Overall profiles are different when you have boost, and also whether your exhaust is driving that boost or not.
