Camshaft ID

[Racer1210]

My engine builder passed away during build and I could not find the cam card. Can anyone identify this cam.

I’m hoping this is the correct place to put this as it is a mechanical roller race cam.

This was my thoughts as well. Called Comp yesterday, on hold waiting for next available tech for 70 minutes then the music stopped and recording came across that we are now closed and call back during working hours. Needless to say I was not impressed. Thank you jimbosride

Well got ahold of Comp and not there’s.

Sure looks like a Comp to me.

Check the lobe lift.
The 323-5 lobe has .460 lift.
I think you’ll find that’s what it is.

Comp tech line had no idea on mine as well, but PRH sure did. Thanks again Dwayne

Spoke with Steve at Bullet Cams (guess he worked for comp for years back in the day) this afternoon. He confirmed it is a comp and determined it rather quickly plus was able to give me all the info on cam. Older grind and the tech dept at comp are uneducated on older numbers and they guaranteed me it was not there’s. My thoughts are they should be educated on all if they are going to be in tech but I’m old school when it comes to that stuff.
Thanks for the help guys.
