The numbers didn't check out, but the performance was the same. The "098" Duntov cam (last 3 digits of the part number) was the hot one. Some guys called it the "30-30" cam because that was the valve adjustment specification, .030" intake and exhaust. I've run a lot of laps on a 1/4 mile dirt track with that setup- - - -come off the turn at 3500 RPM and wind it to 8K by the end of the straightaway. It sounds like a bumblebee on steroids! Jerry
