You should be able to fine a good V6 cam core for under $50.00... and you know I would swing you a deal on the regrind/setup (you do my web page! LOL).

The cam specs. listed down below are WIMPY!! Get something that's a little more aggressive. I'll have Crower setup something based off of a stock core (I'll go see if I can find one that's acceptable).
