Hmmmm... Speaking of cams, I know that there are 3 grades of Schrick cams. Is the difference significant? I know the price differnce is quite significant, but what is the real difference between the different grades? I know how they're made and all, what I was wondering is if I bought a regrind or if I bought the chill cast cams, what's the difference in quality or is there a physical difference? In other words, why would I buy a steel billet set of cams for $1000 when I can get a regrind for $400? (I'd actually go for the chill cast, not the regrinds I think)
