Here is circumstantial evidence of it being a 2001 Z06 cam:

Interesting. Small world, I guess!

The interwebs seem fairly devoid of that combo of digits. You could find a shop with a cam doctor that measures the lobes on the cam..then you could compare to the expected specs. You could even measure total lift yourself fairly easily and if that is real close you might feel comfortable with it. Or perhaps an old copy of a GM performance parts catalog might list it. Not exactly sure where to find that.

Good luck.

Found this on another site...

These Cam Specs,

Are taken from the book "How To Build High Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V8's."

The author is Will Handzell (Manager of GMPP Division).
It's published By Cartech Books, ISBN 1-884089-84-4

This list has come from GM themselves and should be considered 100% correct.
