Default What is a CAM CARD?

I just bought a TR 224/224 .563/.563 112lsa. The guy I bought the cam from didn't have a cam card, and i bought it anyway. What exactly will a cam card do for me?

I bought mine without one. However, mine had some of the specs from TSP scratched on the end of it.

Should be able to tune without it. They're just good to have so that you know the full specs.

he could have, with or without a cam card, only way to determine that (to the best of my knowledge) is have it checked...

A lot of shops can check the cam and give you exact specs for it for like 25-35$

Thunder Racing will have the cam doctor sheet on file they can probably email you if you give them the ser# of the cam. Should be etched in the end.

Like mentioned before it will give you the cam specs. For an example I included the cam card for my F14 to show you what one looks like.
