yep, I did.

I don't remember what the thickness was though, I just measured the difference in base circles and made them that thick(well half of the total difference in the base circles)

they were simply discs slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the lifter, it put me close enough to use the valve shims to properly set valve lash.

Heh. Probably never from me. In a few months, I'm leaving to work in China for 5-6 years. So that leaves me juggling things like selling my cars, emptying my garage, selling the house, maintaining a wife, learning mandarin AND trying to do VW stuff, never mind earn a little income here and there. I doubt I'll have time to do more stages. This stage 1 is about as serious as you can get without spending a LOT of time with trial and error to make something bigger that won't make a dog's breakfast of the engine's innards.

Gotcha.
Sounds like your busy  :o.

Would this cam offer any advantages for drag racing?

Give the description another quick read.  ;)

any pics of a freshly machined and shiny cam?

Here's a pic. Not shiny, because it's been Parkerized. A process that imbeds a permanent lubricant coating and keeps the oil on the lobes to prevent wear before oil pressure is available.

Well Dr. Diesel I think you've twisted my arm far enough. Bring one by next time you are at the shop. I have a core waiting. Text ahead so I have some cash on me.
