Actually,

Marty at KRC did it for me.

(Using 1.6:1 Roller Rockers)
.519"/.528" Lift (Gobs of mid-top end power! Can't wait for the turbo.)

Bernd-

If I sent this cam to SPEEDTWEAKS could this be done
to this cam I already have, or is this a service not offered by
SPEEDTWEAKS? I figure you might have some idea of a profile that would
work with the supercharger on a 5.2.
