Default Who has the quickest turnaround on custom grind camshafts?

I need a new camshaft to replace the one that was either damaged or failed in my LS1 (cracks in a lobe). I'm running out of time to get this car finished before winter. I've spent the last 6 months rebuilding and reconditioning the entire car and this cam is the last hold up.

In everyone's experience, who has had the quickest turnaround for specing out and grinding out a new camshaft with good results? Anyone grinding non comp cams cores with a quick turnaround? I can handle a couple weeks but a month or more is out of the question (I've read that it could take that long from some vendors). I don't even care about cost at this point. I just want my car finished.

I've always gotten my cams from Kip within 1 week of ordering at the latest.
