I received my cam today from Web Cam [nice stuff] and it is a "stock grind" [new]. I thought I was getting their other version for stock fuel injection.

The only upgrade I am doing is euro pistons [flat top]. Is the stock gring OK or do I get better performance from the other version...specs are:

.426
262
224
73

Here is a photo of some of the parts I have so far. The pistons are AA. They look OK to me. The cam to the right is the old one.

You should get more performance out of the #73 grind--IF you can tweak the fuel system to deal with it. Some very savvy people have had success in that endeavor (e.g., Bleyseng) and other knowledgeable folks have not (e.g., Kap'n Krusty).

If you can't deal with the notion of taking the car to a WBO2-equipped dyno and tweaking everything until it's right (even though there's no guarantee that it will ever be completely right!), the stock grind is probably the way to go.
