A regrind is your only option. Delta cams has many choices to choose from.

Check out your local: http://saginaw.craigslist.org/, I suggest you look for a combo kit off eBay (Cam Gear and Pulley set)

delts is great, could try one of bisi's cams as well.

Wow... didn't know bisi had a line of cams out. They would definately be worth looking into.

As for the cam gear, your only options are edelbrock or aem. None of the other cam gears on the market are marked correctly for 96-00 applications.

crower can do regrinds as well.

for a cam gear i'd probably go with an aem or skunk 2..as for the cam... i was looking into that before i started having thoughts about swaps and stuff but i found these guys
www.gude.com
they got some turbo stuff and head pkg's and of course camshafts. I believe all you have to do is email them and they send you a complete application for everything they offer. They seem to be alright. They also have a few race cars.. check it out..

skunk2 cam gears are incorrect for 96-00. They try to pass off the same gear for 88-00. However 88-95, and 96-00 are different.

As for Gude... Stay away... Far away... I've heard nothing but negatives about their products, quality, and customer service.

yup

you could run the s2 gear but it would need to be advanced/retarded 4.75* depending on which way your 1/2 a tooth off.

Depends...if you get a cam indexed for the Z6 you can use any of the Z6 gears. You just can't mix the Y8 and Z6 cam/gear sets.

you can use a 92-95 gear in a ek as long as you use a 92-95 cam and vice versa
