For a reasonably stock M (M&W pistons, 8060 head with minor port work, ignition and carb improvements) what is the best cam to use: a stock 450 grind or a custom regrind? Who is a good shop for a regrind? Thanks.

Hey Rick
I've heard a 400-450 cam is a smidge better than the factory M cam. Those engines had more inches anyway. You can also use a longer ratio rocker arm and get more lift and duration that way. Don't go too wild or it will cost you on torque. Good Luck!

Rick -

As a general rule of thumb, no stock cam is the best cam for a pulling application. A regrind will provide more lift and possibly duration (if needed) on your original piece, depending on the application! Almost all tractors (regardless of size and/or RPM) can benefit from modified profiles. When a factory profile is developed, inevitably there are compromises made as it goes into production. Remember that stock cams are designed to last and make the engine last, not give you the best performance.

"The best" profile for your engine can only be determined through engine analysis prior to grinding and "tweeking" on the dyno, once the cam is installed. There is really no one cam that will work the best in all M's, since each one is a little different. I can develop and grind a cam specifically for your engine which maximizes power where you want it. Email me for information.
