Fuel Efficient Cam Regrinds : General Info

Delta Camshaft of Tacoma Washington are the guys that regrind Standard Metro Cam Shafts to XFi.
Having read numerous posts on the XFi, got me to thinking and I just sent them the following email.
Quote:
From reading the forums at EcoModder.com, I know you guys regrind standard Geo Metro cams to Metro XFI cam profiles - which improves low end torque for improved fuel economy.

I'm wondering if there is/are similar (Fuel Efficient) cam profiles for

* 1993 Ford Escort 1.9L SOHC (5sp MT)
* 1994 Ford Escort 1.9L SOHC (5sp MT)
* 1999 Ford Escort 2.0L SOHC (5sp MT)
* 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport 2.0L DOHC (130 hp) (4sp AT)

If there is/are can you provide estimated respective costs for regrinding?
What does anyone here know about regrinding cam shafts for improved fuel economy? Are there other questions I should be asking? Anybody here have experience with this other than Metro Xfi?
