Default Need help finding specs on this cam - PLEASE!!

Hello, I recently purchased a 370 built for boost, and supposedly it had a "mild blower cam" in it, but the specs were unknown. So this weekend I removed the cam to get the numbers off it to try to find specs, but when I was reinstalling it I accidentally let the chain move on the crank sprocket, so the timing is off (I marked it in a stupid way, but still...). On top of the timing being off, I still can't find any specs on the internet. The numbers are

0967
2 05
8289

If anybody can find any info on this cam for me, I would appreiciate it. I need to degree it, but I can't find any info, much less who made the cam, on the net, so I don't have access to a cam card or anything. Thanks again

Sorry it took so long for the pictures - I've been working late all week and literally haven't had any time to touch the engine. I hope the pics are good enough, because they were taken with my ancient razr phone.

Based off the end markings? This is the first 3rd gen motor I've messed with, so I'm not familiar with very much on these.

Yes, I've read that most of the truck cams have the 0967 number stamped, but I figured a few companies re-grind the factory cams, or the other company could've marked it 0967 so they'll know it's a truck cam. (Just throwin' out ideas here). What do the other numbers mean, then?

So I'm guessing the consensus is that I have a stock cam? I'm cool with that, but my next question is why would they (whoever built this motor) install a brand new stock cam? If you go all out to cnc the heads, install forged pistons and rods, why install a brand new stock cam? There aren't any wear patterns on the lobes or any other signs of wear - it looks brand spankin' new. That's the only thing that doesn't add up to me, so I'm a little hesitant to drop a few hundred $$$ on another cam without knowing for sure what cam I currently have installed.

Do you have any more info on this, or is it a "search!" thing? Is this a common machine shop tool, or more of a specialty item?
