Default Who has the most miles with a different cam?

So I’ve come across this question before. If you want reliability keep the mods simple is what I’ve read. Although, I’m curious who’s been using a aftermarket cam for 30k plus miles? I’m still on the fence if I want to swap one in or not at this point. My heads are fixed, milled, Intake ported, mild bolt ons and tuned. I don’t even race but love the sound of a nice cam ever since I was 18yrs old, 36 now. So who has the most miles with an aftermarket cam. Any 30-40k miles with aftermarket cam(insert name of camshaft or specs) or more out there?

Advanced Induction did my heads, No milling, still stock compression. Some times I wish I had went with a little bigger cam but that is what the shop picked based on our conversation.

BTR 660 springs were put on when the cam and heads were done. Still on those.
