Some folks (hard core) have had success with custom grinds...
Nothing worth a damn for the general market though.

It's basically a way of saying a custom cam. Grind referes to the removal to the material from the lobes to get the required rise and durations.

cams are 50% worth it for the hp gain, and 50% worth it for the sound gain.
