CNC machining the billet tool steel cam cores, and heat treating them is the largest part of the cost. We need to make 10+ sets of cores at one time, so we can spread out the programming, setup, and tooling costs over those 10+ sets.

What’s the most unstreetable road-track-only high power NA option you have (will upgrade springs etc)? Assuming the owner is looking to squeeze out every last bit of power. Cause that’s what I’ll want.

I don't think I would go over 245/240@.050", .500"/.500" Lift, but that's just me.

What is required for Stage 1 - 2 - 3 as far as parts upgrades is concerned? Of course, an ECU remap would be necessary for each and perhaps even a TCU flash/remap? Are we talking Row Boxes for Stg 1, + bigger Throttle Bodies for 2 (maybe with Shorty Headers) + long tube Headers for 3?
Also, do your Cams have the Oil Flow hole, located under the Caps, open to the center of the cam? Or by your stating they are billet, do they NOT have that Oil Flow Hole?

Stage-2, will work with just tuning, but would perform better with more upgrades
Stage-3, will need upgrades, including upgraded valve springs.
The Billet steel cams, are gun-drilled down the middle of the cam, and have the same oiling ports that the stock cams have.

What were the specs on your cam and what was the power band versus stock? Did you have dyno results showing the gains attainable with your camshaft?

Intake will have to be the SLS or a custom sheet metal similar to the SLS to take advantage of the powerband. The stock intake is a limiter on RPM so it doesn't support much larger cams than stock. The SLS should allow operation to 9000 RPM.

Can machine the spring pockets and use a different retainer to allow the additional .150" of lift for these .600"-.650" lift cams.
