grinding w41 cams from blanks
Thursday, September 06, 2007 7:16 PM
does anyone know of anyone doing this and selling them?

I have my 2.3 gtz torn apart and want to put it back together with w41 cams

also has anyone put ls1 springs in their 086 head I've heard there acctually a bit too stiff?

I believe Comp Cams does cam regrinds (not from blanks). They are about the only place I can think of that could make you a "new" set of w41 cams.

I've heard of people using LS1 springs, but I think it was only on the OHV motors. Regardless, unless you are heavily boosted, I don't see the reason for stiffer springs than the stock 086 ones. If you aren't floating the valves now (and I would highly doubt that you are), then adding stiffer springs will only reduce horsepower. SS valves would be a better investment.

Car- part.com has plenty of exhuast cams on hand, but zero intake cams. im sure that one of the places with the exhuast's has got to have an intake, and if not... well, having the exhuast is better than nothing.

while there, look up 92 olds achieva then select w41 option when it prompts you for options.
