Default Crane Cam I.D. Help

I have a Crane Cam sitting around here with the number HIT 392-2-NC. The first number is hard to see so it might also be a 2. Crane has gone out of business and has sold some of their products to S&S Motors, who build Harley motors. Can't find any information on the cam and I am seeing if any Forum member has a old Crane catalog that will have the specs in it, houstonvett

HIT= High Intensity Hyd.
Could it be HIT-296-2-NC 240/248 @ .050 .520/.540 114 LS
If HIT-292-2-NC expect a little less than above.

Thanks Ganey for the help. The cam has never been turned over and the lobes look new. Might just go into my 85 Camaro which was a real POS from the factory. Originally had a 6 cyl. in the rag that had a $1300.00 carb. on it from GM. When the carb went South I put in a SB 350 with a Turbo 350. GM sure made some terrible cars back in the mid 80s and that year Camaro was one of the worst, houstonvett
