Default Best way to verify cam specs?

What is the easiest way to have the specs on a cam w/o a cam card verifed? Is there any other way than a Cam Dr.?

Thanks Joe. Is there any way to do it before it actually goes in the car?

I found a great deal on a 230/230 .591/591 113LSA, but the guy doesn't have the card with it. I have no reason to not trust him, but I would hate to put it in and have it be totally different than what I thought I was getting.

I can roll it in my test motor or doctor it thru Crane.

ok cool. When you get a chance, pm "powerhouseSS" and ask him on his cam specs and dyno graph.
