these suppliers Ive used and trust, Ive had far less than IDEAL results from other sources and some are BIG NAMES..Ive dealt with many cam companies over the years and most of them have decent quality cams, the main area in which they differ is tech support and their willingness to work with customers, and how knowledgeable the tech guys are, in my experience comps tech guys rate dead last, the product is reasonably good but the tech support desk can use major improvement
After youve installed several dozen cams from several manufacturers and frequently called tech support you get a feel for how a manufacturer treats customers and how well components fit, function and how they stand up over time,just over all results, Ive rarely had any issues with CRANE, CROWER, or ERSON parts or service, or tech support Ive had minor issues with LUNATI,ISKY ,tech support but not anything serious that was not eventually tracked down to either miss information on installation or errors in customer installs both easily avoided
there are other manufactures that seem to have a few hopelessly incompetent tech support people, with only a loose grasp on mechanics or engine assembly

for those that don,t know you have options on the cams you order, that are not limited to the catalog options, alone, but be aware it can get rather expensive, and its not unusually for special order cams to take a month or two to arrive.
generally you can select what you need and its a listed option, yes you might want to change an existing cam, by ordering it on a tighter or wider LSA, occasionally you might want a longer intake duration lobe, matched to a shorter duration exhaust, on a custom LSA, like with a turbo application
