In the auto world they grind cams specifically for turbo and supercharged engines. Has anyone considered this for sleds? It seems that there could be a great deal of potential power and ride-ability that could be gained by optimizing the valve timing and lift for a boosted application over cams that are optimized for natural aspiration. Just a thought.
Anyone consider grinding boost specific cams?

I know dave at http://www.hurricaneperformance.ca/ does.
This would be a good question to ask Dave at Powderlites.
you could probably grind the head cams but your going to loose a lot of bottom end hp and you would have to do some diffrent timing for sure i seriousely think you could change them and get more power i havnt seen it done yet i no you can get hot cams for them but there not for boost
Judging from some of the replies I must not have been very clear in my original question. I meant the cams that control the intake and exhaust valves, not the clutching. Also by "Grind" I mean fabricate an new cam, not modify the stock one. Sorry for the confusion.
all the replies I read seemed to be replying to the valve camshafts, and yes some have been doing it with the 4 cylinders I don,t know if they have tried any for the nytro.
