Yes in 8620, will cost you 850-1000, depending on what kind of deal you are on with the manufacturer.
Also can get tool steel core which will be thru hardened, cost you 1200-1400.
Both have to be polished to a pretty low RA and both need coated(DLC etc.) lifters, another 1200+.
A side benefit, you can run either in needle type cam bearings if you want.
Big money up front but probably worth it if you are really gettin after it.

Re: 8620 steel camshaft
LSM will make them for you. Last time a friend bought them, they were $600ea / minimum order of 5. That is just the blank - pre actually grinding any lobes on them. This was also about 5 years ago.
So you’ll be in about $1000-1200 for the cam alone, each.
He had Crane (Chase Knight spec), Crower (with Bruce picking out the numbers), and LSM all grind one of each. All were with a couple degrees of duration at .050”, a few thousands of lift, and 2* LSA from each other.

Re: 8620 steel camshaft
We have the cores on the shelf(depending on journal size) for SB Chevy, and Ford 351w.
For a finished cam, you're looking at between $700-800

Re: 8620 steel camshaft
We would have to machine the core. The price would be the same, but it would take a couple more weeks.
