I'd contact Pat G, fill out the sheet with your engine specs, and what you want out of the cam, and he will send you the specs, then just order the custom grind from COMP.
That's what i did, had Pat G spec the cam, and then ordered it from COMP, and rather than wait 3-4 weeks for a custom grind cam, i got it in 3-4 days.

$25, but if you get it ground by his vendor you get $25 off the cam price, I believe.

I would just call Vengeance and talk to Ron or Fraser at AES. He can get you spec'd for one and they'll do it for free.

I called Comp and specd me the cam for my build. Make sure that you have all the info on the heads, intake and exhaust setup that you have so they can make a decision. Ask about the LsR lobes.
