For milder regrinds they cam just use the stock material and reshape the lobes, the reduction in material is made up in the shimming of the lifters. then for more aggressive cams they can add material, this method I try to stay away from, I have heard some horror stories on some V-8s about the material not being welded on properly and breaking pieces off.

Reliability really is the big reason to go for billet cams over regrinds.

And crane cams can be used if you know how to index them properly... I just do NOT want to go through the hassle.

"The fastest draw is when the sword never leaves the scabbard,
The strongest way to block, is never to provoke a blow,
And the cleanest cut is the one withheld."
