Guys,

the thing is, just about any cam shop can do a cam-regrind to your desired specs (within the phyiscal limits of the core cam of course). I was fortunate enough to pick up an industry magazine that lists manufacturers by the parts they make. I jotted down some companies listed under Cams that are located in SoCal. I will be calling them up today to see what they charge for regrinds, and if they require any rediculous amount for "Buy-In".....

As far as Rods go, I have one company so far that looks promising, and they are cheaper than Crower, and dont require that huge buy in either. I am still waiting for responses on pistons though, and of course cams..... I will keep everyone updated...
