ok so i have access to a computer controled mill and it can do about anything. is it possible to mill the cam housings down a little for more lift? or mill the cam lobes and put a flat top for longer duration and the housings for the same lift? just woundering.

are you a programmer, operator, etc? Or do you just have access. My brother in law is a master machinist with 38 years experience. The largest amount of time is spent programming. For a single one-off project you'll probably be better off farming stuff out to existing suppliers.

In theory you could do it. but its going to screw with all of your valvetrain geometry and probably make the car run like absolute horse @!#$. Especially with you lop the top of the cam lobe off. Yikes.

I'm pretty sure that a typical cnc mill's resolution would be too low for cam grinding.
