You would be better off with stock regrinds.

If you give the specs to companies they will make them for you...and why is it stupid?

That is basically what most cams are...

My understanding is the JBP cams are not regrinds they also claim that both torque and hp are increased and as I said the 15+ hp is at the tires not at the crank . Another guy on here(had a pontiac)claimed more low end torque and more upper end hp . He had a hell of a time with install . He suggested installing new springs and something else I can't remember . I have not heard anything bad about these cams once they were installed properly.He also had the JBP stage 2 head .

I was under the impression that the cams were a pretty sweet upgrade...I'd do it if I thought I knew someone knowledgable enough to do a good install. Throw that and a custom tune to em you might even get 30+hp...
