Regrinds aren't that bad....
but I should point out they won't be a precise a new billet cams. My ISKY cams ran with no problem but I'm sure compared to the JWT cams for the VG it's no contest. Your best bet is to get some cores to have reground. If I knew the valve timing of the VQ cams I could compare it to the VG30DE cams. ISKY charges only $150 to regrind your cams since yours is DOHC it might be $300 but I dunno. YOu would have to call Robert at ISKY can tell him what you want. Of course it helps to have the stock cam specs too, you can get them from the FSM.

One thing nobody ever talks about is the LABOR involved to change cams on the VQ. It's NOT AT ALL easy. Not only are there 4 cams to change, but crap, have you ever looked at what's involved in just removing something like, say the TIMING CHAIN COVER? Damn, that's like a day's labor in itself. Gotta remove the AC compressor, PS pump, alternator, the passenger-side motor mount, etc etc.
For a full cam change, it'd be like 2 days worth of work or more. All that for some custom regrinds that you have no idea whether they'll work well, nor even clear the pistons for that matter!
