Kelford makes some of the better cams for the X. I would avoid their early IX cams but that's it.

flow test the head and you will find that the cosworth mx1 grind is as close to optimal as you will find on the market.

I like how you suggest that in every cam thread

You are like one of two people to run those cams.

Everyone else is wise and runs other companies' cams. GSC/AMS/Kelford have produced the best results on the X over all the different setups I have seen.
