Yeah, if you're doing ok now with the dry shot. Get your computer tuned for them, obviously.

My first 685 came bad from the factory, they replaced it. I run the svo 30# injectors on my car with the same pump you have. Get a tune for the new inj. and cam, NA. Then pull timing with the box for the nitrous.

Well the guy says this a reground hot cam from willhoite's cams in Oklahoma it appears to be a forged cam? Its heavy. On the back of the cam it reads like this.

1264
15
9006
gmpt bc


with some weird barcode symbol thing on the bottom?

It has no fuel pump lobe but where the lobe should be reads,

.gmpt.bc.15...264.gmpt.bc.15


I have no idea what any of the numbers mean? Does anyone know how I can find out the specs of the cam?

If he "reground it", assuming it could be done, all he did was make it smaller. That cam is probably garbage.

It could have been way worse than that. You could have someone put it on a cam doctor to find the correct specs, but that will cost you too.

That would be the first thing I'd do before trying to put it in my motor.

I called this willhoites cams in oklahoma and they are getting back to me with the specs of the cam I only got to talk to an employee.. I also called my local GM parts dealer and they can't find the part # I gave them in their database. From what I understand the stock cams are cast and this one is forged I'm hoping these guys grind off new cam blanks?

If you trust him and that's what you wanted for a cam, put it in. The price was right. My buddy's car ran low 12's with full bolt ons, stock heads, and that cam.

Yea I dont trust the cam grinder he sounded like an old as man from oklahoma, I'm in colorado so I have no idea if he's reliable. The specs he stated did match the cam paper that came with the cam.

He reground the cam, but it's the same specs?

Why were you searching for specs when you had the cam card?
