There is NO way that is an LT1 cam. Not a chance.

whatever it is, those lobes look like they look like big SR lobes, especially with the shaft mount setup next to the cam.

Looks like one of Cam Motions camshafts. It still looks like a standard basecircle, even though the basecircle is ground all the way to the core. Ive seen a few cams like that, and most of them are cam motion cams.

I personally don't know who made it I was just curious. It is my cam and for an LT4, I'll spill the beans in the first post in a few.... I googled cammotions and it sure looks similar to some of their pics.
