Re:mystery cams



If no one can help with the info you have, try calling local race engine
shops.  Ask if they have Cam Pro or Cam Doctor cam measuring setup.  The
info you get is better than anything any cam grinder will give you with a
new cam.  This is quality control info and no grinder likes to be checked
this closely.  Any way  a shop with a measuring setup should also have
analysis software like Cam Pro Plus, get a print out from it. It will
give you things like base circle run out, lobe to lobe variation, lift,
acceleration, jerk, opening and closing ramp heights.  From this you
should be able to make informed decisions about things like wether this
cam is suitable for you and if so where to set its valve events and how
much lash to use.
