It is for the 406.
The cam is a pup.
230 @ .050 on the intake with a .375 lobe lift
236 @.050 on the exaust with a .380 lobe lift
112 lobe seperation
Ground on a billet core, straight up, with a pressed on iron gear.
It is on a 1.050 base circle

It is the most aggressive ramps available in that lobe.

Should make big power.
The old 406 made 480 hp with a much smaller cam, and a whole lot less cylinder head.
