Default Where to buy custom grind camshaft?!?!

Does anyone know if Jay Allen at 'Camshaft Innovations' ships to Canada? or anyone know of any good custom cam grind companies I could get a cam made from? thanks.

Custom Grind Camshaft is a camshaft custom made for your specific motor and your intended use. It's not taking an existing camshaft and grinding it down.

It took ED maybe 2 -3 weeks max to get everything to my front door, be prepared to purchase all the proper valvetrain hardware so the cam can perform to it's fullest potential, also as with any custom designer, don't expect to see any specs until you pay, that way they know you are serious.
