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.

hes right besides the cam doctor the only thing u can really do is look for a serial or part number on the cam, and if u know the manufacturer you and call them.
