what are most off the shelf cams made out of? Probably the cheaper one? What benefit do you get with going with the more expensive type?

when you get into big lift / duration cams, they require alot more spring pressure. Thus resulting in the camshaft having to buck more spring pressure which can cause the lesser of the two cam cores to flex and or break. The billet core offers better valve train stability.
