Sharif, you are the man! I should receive them for sure by Tuesday but after tracking the package I might actually get them tomorrow. They are only a 6 hr drive away. I will post some pics as soon as I get them.

Nice!! Get some pics ASAP! Are you going NA or FI?

Sharif. Are you dealers for them now? See if you can get them to budge about word on the cams. I'm just waiting to see if the specs are what i'm looking for.

I am staying NA because I run alot of track events. Hopefully with some big cams, pistons and a good tune I can hit 300+ rwhp.

Yes, we are master distributors. No details yet on the cams. I did have some conversation with them at SEMA in Nov, and gave them my feedback on a good cam spec choice. But no word yet on ETA. The heads finally shipped, after a 6 month wait. Cams are probably not too far behind.

So far, here is a list of available VQ35 Cosworth product

Big Valve Complete heads
Upgraded Head gaskets in 96, 98, and 100mm bore
Tri-Metal Bearings
Pistons
Rods

Next up.....camshafts...followed by the much anticipated Cosworth Crate Engine!

No details revealed yet. I would hope, they would produce an NA spec'ed version, and then a second version spec'ed out for forced induction.

Knowing Cosworth, they will probably run each engine on their engine dyno, break in the engine, and generate some reports for us. Stay tuned.

Nope. Last time i called i tried to get the Cosworth guy to budge. I tried to be slick but that didn't work too well.

I asked if the NA grinds will be more aggressive than what is out in the market today in terms on Tomei and JWT. He sounded sure of it but wouldn't say much. He says Tomei is a great product and if anything i should follow that. Funny thing for a certain company to refer the customer to another product.

He said the final product should not be long and we'll know once it's released.

I also proceeded to ask him if he does actually know specs and other R&D info of the final product. He modestly says he knows everything but won't say shiet, lol.

I can't get an ounce of help out of Cosworth. Lucky for me I found someone with huge lift cams. Now I just need the bottom end.

I promised not to release the info on these cams since they are not available just yet to everyone. I can tell you they have more lift than the most common cams available. These cams are not really made for streetability and are really made for topend only. They should work well with my Cosworth heads if the heads flow as Cosworth says.
