Ok I understand that, but if you compare a comp-cam extreme energy cam, luniti, etc (roller) and a custom grind cam the price is really not that different.(what maybe 40-50 dollars). If you are already that deep into a motor, why not try to at least give it your best shot? I understand that money is an issue (been there done that a hundreds of times). It's just that later you are most likely going to do it again and spend even more money. When I started to get custom grind cams, they were more then just to get most power out of a combo, there were for driveablity reasons as well. Now if the main purpose is just to get that lumpy idle sound, then ok get the cheapest cam that works for your combo.

Now understand this, I am NOT a rich person or even well off but I am firm believer that you give it your best shot at that time, even if you don't have all the money presently, then just wait the most reasonable time you can wait and save. This, I am sure does not work for everybody, but it works for me and if I have to wait an additional 1 month or 1 year to do it right, I will!
This car is simply a toy,(expensive f**kin toy) but simply still a toy. I have a daily driver, so I can offered to make these decisions. Some people have daily drivers that they are modifying which can lead to stressful late nights working on them, so they can go to work the next day.
