Apparently it depends on the material - cast iron or steel:-

Also - I guess - dropping cast iron is more likely to result in a break because of the HCP structure |
With the stock cast cams breaking I would like to have a nice steel one. Having some steel blanks made would not be too much trouble. Cut & grind them, and then have them heat treated.
I am not sure how close the stock lobes are, but at some point in the quest for more lift the lobe not fit through the pedestals, after that, reducing the base circle is all that is left. Not sure if shorter followers are possible, if so then they may also be a way to amplify the cam profile.
