Default Custom Grind camshaft

Has anybody had one done, and if so, who did you use? I left a message for Lloyd Elliot yesterday, I'm waiting for a call back. I also spoke to "American Cams" and he gave me a pretty good price. I was just looking for some input from people who have a custom cam and can reccommend a place to go or places to stay away from.

Got my custom grind cam for FMS, $300 shipped!!!!! ITs a bad *** cam

I would always go with a custom grind cam, instead off one thats off the shelf, they cost about the same but, with a custom grind, its a better combo!!!!!!

when a custom cam is ordered, do they give you the specs? I have an odd setup that I think has alot more power potential if given a cam to suit it.
