if your talking to me then, idk wat the cams specs are, the original owner says its a custom grind, but when i pull it out for the build im a have it checked out and get the specs.

all i know about that cam is it idles nicely around 900rpm, and it starts pulling hard at almost exactly 3k an hauls *** up to 7k, and i turn it 7k on a eekly basis lol, im hard on my ****!
