Call Comp Cams or Crane. Maybe they can help

having trouble crossing over - you should be able to get the specs from the web but I can not find the numbers you are listing under the COMP Cam or the Crane Cam web page

Might be a Crane Cam by the format. As a matter of reference I have a Crane Cam # H272-2. It would, in theory be milder than yours. Ask if they put in double valvesprings for this cam. You are probably in the range of 226 int. @.50 and 236 exh. @ .50. You should have a bit of a lope at idle. Sounds about right for a BB. But, that is not even close to stock. It is more aggressive I would guess.

Take this for what it's worth. I could be giving you bad info if this isn't a Crane Cam.

Regards, mark
