Since a few years flat tappet failures have been going up. There are several factors involved (new aggressive lobes, oil formulation etc.) and one of them is the quality of the cam core. Which companies are still making flat tappet cam cores? Which cam grinder uses which company? Or do Comp Cams, Lunati, Bullet, Mike Jones all use the same cores? Is there a reason why choosing one cam core over the other?
Thanks

For flat tappet cam cores that fit a traditional B/RB or 59* SB Mopar with std journals.......I'd be pretty surprised if there was more than one or two places supplying cores.
Engine Power or Camshaft Machine.

It's correct for something like SBC...... Not a BB Mopar.
For flat tappet cores for that platform, i suspect there is probably only one core choice...... Maybe two(one wide lsa, one tight lsa).

Engine Power or Camshaft Machine. Who was the "CW" that I used to see on my flat-tappet cams? Or am I confusing "CW" with "CM"?

I have a new unused Engle Hyd Flat tappet cam I bought in 2002 for my 360. Is this camshaft old enough to be of the better quality metal then todays cams?
