Default RE: To modify a 4stroke cam

ORIGINAL: Mediaman

Hi guys,

In order to get more power, or torque out of a four stroke engine, has anyone tried grinding the profile of the lobes on a camshaft?

Some machine shops in Mexico modify stock camsafts for full size automobile engines by grinding them.
Do not modify cam in 4 stroke modelengine, 4 stroke modelengine has higher overlap than full size automobile engines. Therefore we get more power in 4 stroke modelengine than full size automobile engine in weight/horsepower and horsepower/litre.
