Who makes cams for the LE5

Like the title says, who makes cams for the LE5? I want to break 200WHP on a mustang dyno then I will be happy.
So does Comp cams, or Crane, or anyone else make cams for us? Or are we stuck with custom ground ones? I know about the JBP cams but have not heard enough good things to make me gamble $700 on them, plus they have no numbers to back it up.

I know but those where the JBP cams, I would like to know if there are others out there. Or if those are the only ones. Thanks for the link though.

Fred @ SMG has some pretty sick cams he can get. Contact him. I was thinking of getting a set of cams before supercharging and talked to him about it.
