I heard that its a 236/244 with Comp XE-R lobes. Not sure how accurate that is, but I would bet it is really close.

I heard that someone had one 'Cam Doctored' as a matter of unraveling the mystery. I've yet to find out who and/or what those results were. It'd be helpful for me to know this info, too, so I can degree-check one of my X3 installs. So I will be watching this post closely.
