Default EDC or Cammotion?

It has come time for me to order a new cam for my next round of mods and both cam grinders come very highly recommended and both have their own lobes to select from. The problem cammotion had with some bad blanks ahs been fixed so now it just leaves which one to go with. I cant get a recommendation from cammotion unless I pay 25 bucks and Im not going to do that just to see the specs If I do buy a cam from them the 25 is put towards the purchase price of the cam so thats not that big a deal. I just dont know who to choose. Any other good cam grinders out there? This will be a custom grind for my app I dont want to go with an off-the-shelf cam as my needs are going to be quite different from most. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oiling situation is fine the motor is coming out

The deal with KYs cam is the problem with the blanks I was talking about it has been resolved they are using a different supplier or doing it theirself or some crap like that.

I got to look at some EDC specs and I was impressed. I've never dealt with Cammotion so no info there. The other guy that really impresses me with his cam knowledge is Roger Vinci. My next cam will likely come from EDC or Vinci.

EDC all the way. SO FAR, I have dropped to a 12.80 on my custom edc cam over my custom cammotion cam which I could only pull a 13.30 out of. This is on a full weight truck to boot. 4340 lbs. These times are gonna go down even more when I can stall the thing up at the track.

$25???WTF. I did an online quote about 2 months ago and it didn't cost me a thing. Maybe they are getting too many to handle. I went with Cammotion, we will see.

If this doesn't sway your vote, I really do not know what will.
Wes' went from a 221/221 profile to Ed's 220/224...
Nothin special, just a better design.
