Sent my cams to Schneider Cams for regrind. Been a couple of years, but cost about $200 including shipping. They indicated that they utilized the same specifications as JWT, which was stated to be located just down the road and do work for each other. I requested a grind to approximate a mild cam, nothing with a big lope or anything, but nice. Did this for my VG30ET.

Yeah I've been curious on this too. I've been wondering if the $550 is worth it. But I think no one has really actually taken the challenge and put them on, at least not on a street vehicle.

I would be a guniea pig, but the wife says no more engine mods till I build her car... Now if I could just get her to decide on a car, I have a feeling of being stalled here. Anyone else think so?

You can get them regrounded or you can order blanks and get those grounded. Blanks will be the best option b/c with just the regrind, you won't be able to add the needed material in some areas. I think you can get blanks from a good dealership. But it will cost ya! You will need 4 cam shafts!

Honestly, I don't think you should do cams until you are as far as I am in the bolt on process. Do the best stuff first... intake, exhaust, UDP, headwork, valve, weight reduction, etc.

For me, I will not do cams just b/c I don't plan on staying NA for long. The cost of cams can go towards my turbo kit.
