how can you tell which gm cams are which. if this thing is a 847 i am swaping it out with my xfi280 today! i know the car that the engine was in had a supercharger on it cause it had a return hole in the oil pan.

The 586 indicates that it is a GM Hot Cam. It may or may not have a stripe of any specific color. The rest of the numbers pertain to Lot ID, etc.
Specs are...
218/228 @ .050
.525/.525 lift with 1.6 ratio rockers.
112 * LSA

i feel dumb now for asking that question cause i just realized why they call the 847's, 846's, etc. the 586 is the last three digits of the hotcam part number. i didn't even think to match them up. thanks for the help. i got to find an engine to put it in now.
