Any info would be greatly appreciated.Its a brand new cam.Would be a shame not to be able to use it.Thanks Rick

Rick,
I don't remember the exact .050" numbers, but that numbers you have listed are advertised duration. I think the .050" is pretty close to 248*-256* there should also be a series of number and letters to designate the lobe separation and how much advance is ground in the cam...something like 6A3 with is 106 with ICL on 100*.

Your engine builder should be able to install this cam in the engine and tell you all of the pertinent information with a degree wheel and dial indicator, if not you might need to find another engine builder. If you want a computer print-out on the cam you can send it to me and I will profile it for you to verify what you have. Cost = $25.
