The Reground Intake gives you the most additional power....not so much the Reground Exhaust....but let Pete the Cam Guru Explain.

Both XfireZ51 and myself have taken a peak at our reground Cams after hours of run time and found nothing out of order in regard to Camshaft or Cam Journal wear.

Maybe a bit rougher idle (depends if you Regrind BOTH Intake and Exhaust), no appreciable difference in fuel mileage (maybe a bit less), No Broken Parts. Watch carefully when installing Reground Cams regarding Lifters and Camshaft Timing as suggested

Again....here on this Forum Pete the Cam Guru is the GO TO GUY on Camshaft Regrinds as he has proven in his 1/4 mile times

You can ask Pete about Camshaft Hardening which is not an issue with the Camshaft Regrinds as the Camshaft Grinding does not get past the Hardened Surface.
