AND? Seriously tho Cromer and Crane both grind cams for our cars now. In fact Crower does the grinding for the GMPPcams you can buy from GM. When they first came out with them a few years ago I made a bunch of calls (it helped working at a GMPP dealer
) and found Crower does the work for GM. A quick call to Crower and I was talking with a very nice guy who told me they can custom grind any profile I want. GMPP sells the cam blanks and they grind them. I believe Crane does regrinding. Not a fan of the whole regrind idea as I had nothing but problems with regrinds the 2 times I used them in my V8 builds. I prefer useing non regrinds.

A nice street or street strip cam set would be your best way to go.

Yupers! You can either get the brand new virgen blanks and send them to Crower to rind for you OR they can get them for you. But then you have the mark up to deal with.You'd have to call them to see if the markup would be less then the shipping to you and then to them as it very well might be. As for telling them what you want just call them up and tell them what you have, what your goals are and they'll take it from there. Just make sure they know the car will still be street driven so they don't give you a radical full race grind that has to idle at 1200 rpm! A nice street or street strip cam set would be your best way to go.

I added you on my buddy list here to recieve PMs. If anyone would need any tips on tuning cams with HPTuners (I don't have EFILive yet) I might be able to help.

Heres a man that needs to be building a quick NA 2.4 imo.

Just give up and have little to no power goals like me!
No one in my area knows how to tune my car....even though I'm located near a ton of prestigous well known shops. Its either drive up to NJ to Tune Time, or just remain un-tuned......all 11 CEL codes and all.

Won't work without a standalone. The only off the shelf application that I'm aware of for an Ecotec individual TB kit has to be run with an "alpha-n" TPS fueling system as the kit doesn't have a provision for a MAF or a MAP sensor.
I can't see 220whp+ without cam regrinds imo.

At least one LSJ guy had Crower grind his and WSFrazier spoke with them on the phone last year and they were reasonably priced from what I remember (~250-300 maybe?). I can't remember the turn around time but I'm thinking about 2 weeks.
I'll call Wes and see if I can get him to post some info in this thread.

damn that sounds like some badass pricing on the regrinds. i might have to look into this 
I've heard the LNF cams work with the 2.4, but swapping those over would most likely only benefit a F/I 2.4

The exhaust cam will swap, it would be a killer setup for a turboed 2.4L but would probably kill an NA or blown setup imo.
