Does the regrinded camshafts save gas since its entering more air in the engine and more exhaust out..?

Look at it as a little 'subterfuge' and the choice remains with you. I have found the Subys to be bullet proof in the engine bay ~ so I don't really care... don't expect any engine issues anyway.

Heads Up.
Recieved my cams today. Couple of things you WILL need to use diesel oils for break in (they still have phosphates and zinc that our cams/motor need for break in). About 200-250 miles, then you can run your regular oils again (and/or synthetics).
There are also instructions printed on the box that can be ignored with our Subaru engines!
I've got 4 people in line over at RS25 for my cores ~ anyone from I-Club looking at a cam upgrade?

Sign in over at RS25 if you want to get in line for free cores, so you don't have to sit with your engine open for a week while you wait for the 're-grinds'.

There are DIY instructions as well as 'labor time' estimates for shop installs.

"I think everyone on the list is DIY, or a 'friend' that is a mechanic is helping them, etc. I am getting it done at my dealership (but I am a salesman and only pay $20/hr for labor). I would call a private shop in your area and ask. Or, someone like Rallitek, Cobb, Vishnu. They should be able to give you an idea of 'labor hours'."
I would just call an independent Suby shop in your area ~ or if you are not near a Metropolitan area, a dealer to get 'labor hours' on the job. On another forum (posted to my thread) I have heard dealer cost as HIGH as $700! Yee-ouch.

I have just received a set of DOHC N/A cams that I am offereing up for you DOHC people! I am going to form the same type of list as I have for the SOHC cams!
In a nut shell, your car will only be down 1 day, the day of the Delta re-grinds are installed in your car!
This is much better then ripping out your OEMs, then waiting with your car open and your ride down for 5-7 days while you wait for round trip shipping and the turn around at Delta!
And the cost of this service cannot be beat. You will simply pay for the shipping of your OEMs to the next person in line! (SOHC=$7 and DOHC = $10).
If you are interested in getting in line for either cores, jump over to RS25.com and do a thread search for 'Delta Cams' ~ you will find both list there. PM me at either place (here or RS25) and I'll place you on the list!
I am at work and can not sign on to RS25, the internet censors don't like RS25 I guess? But, I will post the link late tonight, so you at least won't have to 'search'.
Cheers Mates!
