Who around the forum is notable for custom cam design?

I've got a jam cam in my blown 402 waiting to go, but wondering if there might be a better grind given the combination. Goals being power and relative smoothness on a 58x reluctor setup with haltech 2500t running the show.

Isky builds them to order, by the owner. Reliable, top quality, family owned for two generations. All work is done at their shop in Gardena, Ca

I’ve run their cams and Red Zone lifters in high rpm endurance blown engines. Never disappointed.

I don't know if he's a vendor here but many will argue there is no better cam grinder than Ed Curtis.
