<< Javad,
 I'm VERY curious as to the results.  I know that a Shrick 272 had great 
results in a couple turbo cars.  Can you explain how you came up with the 
264/260 dimensions you did?  I havent' put MUCH thought into this yet other 
than I know I'm going to Elgin for it and I know I want a Cam.  I had planned 
on basically copying the Shrick cam but maybe I wont. 
   Anyhow, I'm Very curious to hear the results.  l8r

    I talked to John and mentioned it was for a turbo car.  We came up with 
the asymetrical grind with a little more aggresive duration on the intake to 
reduce push out the exhaust valve.  This cam will slightyly soften the bottom 
end, and may increase turbo lag a few hundred RPM, but hit 4000 RPM, and son, 
hold on, that little I5 is gonna scream for the rev limiter!!   =)
    I would not use a Shrick 272 cam in a turbo motor unless it was a race 
car, you are going to be pushing boost out the exhaust valve up past 4000 
RPM, a little aggressive for forced induction IMO.  
    Elgin is doing one of each for me, however, so I can let you know for 
sure...
