I emailed colt cams for the 294 grind...they don't do it but offered this instead...

256° .330 Lift – the cost for this one is $350.00
260° .345 Lift – The cost for this one is $400.00

What can this do for me?

want power low and high? buy a car with vvtl-i otherwise you cant really have it.
stock cams are the best for low to mid rpm performance.

if you want power up top you have to sacrifice down low, just the way it is. If you want low rpm boost (as in less then 2200) dont expect any power after 5000, the turbo will not flow anywhere near enough.
sequential turbos would fix this proble, but who is going to fcuk around with two turbos on a 4 banger.

as an example think about the stock ct26 found on gen 2 3sgtes, fine low rpm, reasonable spool times (say full boost buy early 3000) but they badly run out of puff after 6k. (there is other factors too but im not going to go into them)

fast spool means you need a small rear housing
small rear housing means restriction
restriction means at higher rpms (say 5k and above) your not going anywhere fast, infact your acceleration is dropping off)

you are in the rough part for bugger all of your driving, and its not hard to drive smoothly at all and keep in the meaty part of your rev range so dont let it put you off. Buy some reasonable cams, feel the benifits and you will never look back.

sorry for the essay chaps
