Who grinds custom cams?
Comp isn't a "custom cam" in my book.. Places like Elgin cams that actually grind based on your requested valve events are custom. They take your events and grind the lobe based on your request.

I was under the impression comp wants big money to grind a cam based on your valve events if they don't have a lobe that matches your request. IE making you a custom lobe. I think Elgin and the other cam MFG do it a lot less.

I called Thunder and told them exactly what I wanted. They placed the order to Comp and a week or two later I had my custom cam, at no additional charge. I think anyone could call Comp directly and order a cam FWIW.
