I also found a german that company that offers regrinds for our camshafts. Some of you may know it, it's dbilas. They are especially known in the BMW and VAG scene. Anyways, they offer four different regrinds, ranging from 260°/256° to 272°/264° degrees. If you click on "Details" you get more information for each regrind. What do you think about those cam profiles?

But out of curiosity, what engine mods do you think would be needed to really complement the 272°/264° camshaft? Would it be feasible to use on a stock engine?

Here are the translated details:

1,6 degrees: 272/264
Camshaft spread: 110
Valve stroke: 9,0/7,8
Engine valve timing: 26/66 - 62/22
Valve clearance: 20/25

That's a Lot of Valve Lift on the intake side , and a lot of timing.My Bisimoto Level 2 regrinded D14 cam has about 8.5mm of lift on the intake side.Also exhaust lift is allready 8.3mm on my level 1 regrinded cam .
Those cam specs are more based on D16 cams afaik, and those are really not "Strasse" or Street Cams .If you really want use one of those cams i would use the one with the least amount of timing and the most lift on the exhaust side.Strasse 1.4 or 1.5 would be a better choice ;)Those could be used with I/H/E and ecu tuning,but they also require better valve springs with that much lift.

Lately Rocket Motorsports has gotten a great reputation with regrinding cams and making new billet cams.
Here are some Camshaft specs of their Facebook page

Looks like the Stock Y8 cam is a better cam then a stock Z6 cam. :)
