      Elgin can do custom regrinds for about 400 bucks. I am going to be sending a set off to them and getting them ground to 264(i)/256(e) (I believe that is the durations, haven't double checked in a while).

        Those were recently sold to me for my NV-M50 swap and they are pretty hard to come by. You would probably be better off with buying the Schrick intake cam and moving your stock intake cam to your exhaust side.

          Or just throw a Vanos exhaust cam in. Still 240 duration, I believe the same lift.

            can you still do the s5x cams as well? Like move the m3 intake to exhaust then do one custom?

              put that on my exhaust side and run a shrick on my intake side?

                  Yea, for some reason the NV cams are 240/228 while the Vanos cams are 228/240. You can even throw an S5x exhaust cam in (244 with a little more lift). I've got a S5x exhaust cam in my motor with the stock intake cam (240/244) until I can get a new intake cam ground.
