Wade grind their own camshafts you can have your own custom grind aswell.

read this, You don't have to change rocker arms for either, we even have hydr camshafts with 10% more lift and duration than the 1147C with stock rocker hardware running with no problems. There are far better designs than the wade camshafts around now, they are great and have served well, there is heaps of fast cars on the streets with them, but they are based off V8 profiles and don't lift teh valve as fast as they could with the size lifter the RB30 has, so your basically giving up midrange and bottom end power for any given camshaft size. Pm me your setup and I'll help you select a camshaft. Cheers.............................6BOOST
