Any cam grinder should be able to grind one. Just need to know the lifter angle.

Bulet has been doing mine for years. We currently have three raised cam engines

I'm a bit iffy about Bullet Cams, this one lasted 2x seasons before it snapped. Cost me a lot of money to fix. The Comp Cam I replaced with the Bullet was just as fast yet it was a slightly smaller grind.

My suggestion get the heck away from the STOCK cam core. If you are using a raised cam block why would you have a stock cam core? I am going to assume that cam was NOT in a raised cam block, as that woudl make no sense at all.

Al probably knows the answer to this........
Don’t the raised cam blocks have a slightly different lifter bank angle than the std cam position blocks?

Personally, I’d be looking at whatever the most popular cam bearing diameter is being used in the raised cam blocks........ in hopes of having better core availability.
Seems like a few years ago there was a move from whatever was popular at the time....... to something a bit bigger.

Raised cam is 48 degrees vs non at 45. Then there is the original mega block thing. Which come in at 47 wedge and 50 for a Hemi. I have also had a World block with a raised cam that was at 45 degrees amongst other issues which were all corrected. Hope I got that right from memory smile gettig old sucks..

no, this cam was in my street bracket car. I had someone convince me to get Bullet to make a custom grind cam to match my combination. Sadly I went no faster than the Comp Cam roller I was already using, but we pressed on with that cam, but it broke on the last day of its second season of use. I put the old Comp Cam back in & it's run for 15 years? in total now, & easier on parts.
The block I was looking into raised cams is an Indy Block I bought that I'm considering going 572 with.
