DR cam (camgrinder) was the go to guy, but he's MIA lately. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Elgin isn't returning a buddies calls as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Webs are a bit pricey. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Used custom is a crap shoot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Looking for something like a DC40.

3.0, 10:1, twinplug, 40 webers 34vents, RSR style malhe pistons, mostly street (country road) pleasure car.

Any thoughts from the /6 crowd??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

I had the ones for my 911S done by these guys;

I thought they were reasonable and they can do the DC40's your talking about.

That would have been my first choice, but I'm doing another engine right now and Camgrinder and the cams ordered are MIA since last fall.
I don't want to send off my cores and get them back in time for the 2016 season.

Don't know if he can help, but you might try contacting Henry Schmidt at Supertec in Fallbrook, Ca. He just got me some 911s cams for my 2.7 rebuild.

I was going to say contact Henry too...give him the specs you gave us and where you want your power (low/mid/high) rpm and he should be able to guide you.

George:what's you plan for the 2.7? I have a 2.7cis and have been on the fence...every option seems good from people I've talked with (as-is stock, sc cam with CIS, full rebuild with webers or EFI)

I'm building a 2.7 to put in my car. I have a set of new Crane cams that are pretty much the same as a GE60 grind, close to a 911S cam. I'd like to find a good set of E cams, and would make a deal with the Crane stuff. Not sure that I want a cam as peaky as an S cam for a street car. Maybe if it was a 3.0, which has more torque.

I don't know on that one... I can't even find a listing for porsche on the crane site. I don't fancy getting stuck with a cam I don't like as well.

I'm looking for that perfect in between cam, a cross of hot, with good street characteristics, OK MPG and an acceptable idle.
I know there is no perfect cam, so I'm looking for the best compromise.

I had the equivalent of E cams (GE20) in the engine previously, and it worked very nicely with the RS piston/cylinders and PMO carbs. Pretty much what Bruce Anderson recommended in his book. We bumped the cams to a slightly hotter setup as the engine does have enough torque for the 914-6, and wanted a bit more top end 'oomph'. I had to have the engine rebuilt when it pulled the Timeserts on the head studs. Now, Casesavers hopefully will keep it together.

Without changing out the pistons, I don't know how much of a cam you can use with the 2.7 CIS pistons. Again, Henry can probably give you some good advice.

I guess Crane no longer makes the cams for the 911, but I do have them!

That is high lift at the valve. I think it's again, like the RSR cams I was looking at, too hot for street use.

Here is more info on your cams.

Thanks for the additional info. It sounds as f you are looking for the same thing that I am, a nice strong street engine with a good mid-range. I also have what I think is a set of the Solex cams. They might be a better bet than the Crane cams. My engine will have the Euro pistons and Weber carbs.

Peashooter those are most likely welded cams, if you can't sell them you should be able to get them reground almost any profile you want with no weld labour.
Send them to Elgin or DR cams and they should cut you a price break. At worse case you will still break even.

BTW a hard welded cam is a good thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
