Although I personally have not used cam motion I do know people that have and they were very happy.
They will custom grind for your application and goals.

All my LS cams came from Futral Motorsports. They use cam motion, but have custom lobes. I have not had any issues with anything I have run to date. Do you know what cam you are looking at and what mods you will do to the LS?

Cam Motion is a small cam company who grinds cams for a lot of folks in addition to their own designs. I visited there once late at night and they had just finished a pallet load of small block Ford hyd roller cams for Comp cams. They also do a lot of private label stuff for tuners and engine builders. Since they do cams for other cam companies...they have the masters for lots of other folks' lobes. The guy working there who gave me the tour had one wish...and it was it would be great to let folks know who REALLY designed the cam being sold under the tuners/builders names. He had a lot of pride in what they do and wanted the company to get credit for it.
We did have them do one for a 632" we built once.
I've used smaller companies in the past and had great luck. Engle made some great ones for me.
