Keith, almost all production cams are made of chilled iron. In other words, they are thru hardened. When the new base circle is ground into the cams, they are just as hard as when they came from the factory. Then the only worry is if there is enough adjustment with the jack screw. According to those who re-grind 911 cams, there is.
Now if a cam is cut from steel billet material, it will need a surface hardening treatment.
