I just can't spend $250 on a roller cam alone. I can get a flat tappet cam with lifters new for $125 but I thought I'd try this roller cam stuff.

I have a trickflow stage 2 cam sitting here with less than 3000 miles on it.
Hasn't been cleaned but only ran on new trickflow rollers.
I'll ship it for $100. 00
It's just tako up space

Why would someone shave a cam? Roller cams don't wear like flat tappet, buy a used one, save some money.

The stage 2 cam is pretty big isn't it? I was hoping to get by with the tfs 2500100 spring kit. Would that work?

I don't think they would be compatible. Tfs recommends TFS-31400414.

My credo
If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
I hope you can find a cam that will work for you,I'd have trouble trusting a used one. There are 3 things that I think should only be bought new: tooth brushes, condoms, and camshafts. My fingers are crossed for you.

Chips, scrubbed bearings, bad lifters, ive seen it done guys try to save their cams that have wear or damage and the engine under performs or they have the equipment to "refresh" cams and sell them used online.

I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought a new cam. Not a FMS or TFS so I probably won't have the lopey idle I wanted but it has a better suited rpm range since my Ranger is a daily driver and it's still used as a pickup.

It's a Jegs brand cam. Maybe it'll work out alright. I had a coupon plus their Memorial day sale to save some money.
