Integral cams is a good source.

http://www.integralcams.com/924.htm

Someone had one for sale a while ago. There is another post on camshafts right now on one of the threads, so you might want to check that out.

ground cams come with little lifter plates which you put under the tappet ontop of the valve stem to take up the extra clearance

Is that the same with the integral cams also? They made it sound as though it (stage 1) was pretty much a direct replacement.
thanks

Integral Cam's are not grinds, they are new cam's machined from new billet.

new is better.

when the cam is reground the surfaces the touch the follower need to be rehardend so that they dont wear, if they dont harden it properly the cam with be destroyed quickly and will take all the followers out, not worth it imo
