I emailed Oregon Cams today.
Here is what he said. Any advice? I don't speak cam-ese.

These are some of the most popular grinds in the area you are looking for, I can move the lobe sep around if you want something different. We can regrind your core for $239, it will take about two to three weeks.

If you send us your core please make sure to include you contact info in the box with the cam

what are the .2" duration numbers? I assume lift is based on the magnum's 1.6 rockers? for what you want to do, I'd probably go with #1429. I bet those lobe profiles have the same, if not more duration at .2" duration than the lobes on the #2204, so it will make as much or more power and torque than the #2204, but have better idle, low end, and slightly better fuel economy with less overlap.
