Red R Racing does custom grind VCT cams for their RB26 Vcam heads so Paul might be able to help you out. I had a look at one of these last night and they look pretty sweet. Although these are to suit solid lifter and not the hydraulic setup that most 25 heads use I'm sure the profile could be redone to suit the ramp angle a hydraulic cam needs.

What engine was that for?

So your aiming for 700hp +?

Powerglide and pretty much a drag setup at a guess, yeah?

Why smallish cams then?

I would of thought more air going through to fill the largish snail would be a good thing? And to get high revs it will be a rebuilt head anyways wouldnt it?

For the rb30 bottom end you will need longer duration on the exhaust,

Surecams are the only custom cam grinders left in nsw

And i doubt dirt garage has a cam grinder, a clue or even a qualification with some of the shit I've had to repair of his "handy work"

Cleaning up the ports or de dagging removes restrictions

professional porting as in re shapping enlarging the right spots etc will increase a cfm flow best suit to the lift your chasing

my 26 head flows best at 0.420" lift,i couldn't go larger without affecting the air velocity which you can go larger with forced induction so 10.8mm lift works perfectly in mine cause the ports can flow up to that much lift, putting 11.3mm lift cams in would make me loose power cause the head doesn't flow at that lift

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
