Most regrinds are performed by reducing the "base circle". Reducing the
base will effectively restore or increase the lift. The valve adjusters
will compensate.

       How do you get more lift by regrinding the stock cam.  does not
regrinding take metal off thereby reducing the lift ?  All that can be
changed by regrinding is the duration.  Unless of course you welded on
some
new material before regrinding.
