is this a stock camshaft?
I recently purchased a camshaft that was suppose to be a comp 3722r and it looks a lot like a stock z06 camshaft that I already have.
It has the barcode that stock camshafts have on them and has the following numbers
0968
417
9268
There are no numbers at all from comp only the etched numbers above and the barcode.
Also I noticed a seperate X stamped near the barcode.
Is this a stock camshaft? All the comp cams I have seen have their writing on them or are etched with the part number. This one is not, opinions please.

Measure the lobe lift and base circle diameter and compare the dimensions to stock. Not 100% definitive but a good indicator since most aftermarket cams with higher than stock lift have smaller base circle diameters.

Marine,
You would be surprised to see how much snow we have gotten this year. It's been crazy. I hope all goes well and just to let u know Riverbend has Allison Kraus, Sheryl Crow, and Darius Rucker to name a few this year.

I'd call Comp before jumping the seller's butt, but (lol) I have installed a few Comp Cams and they are all ENGRAVED by hand and look like my 3 year old daughter wrote it. Fancy barcodes are likely STOCK!
