Cam ID help DGM9

[JeffroTheDSMGuy]

Hey guys recently picked up my 17th dsm a 97 gst with a rebuilt 6bolt swap I plan on pulling the motor and tranny and parting the rest out. The head had been gone through hot tanked rebuilt etc. I was told it had 272 cams they both are stamped DGM9 on the end closest to the cam gears I've read a bunch about identifying cams and there's only one other post with a similar setup and his has DGM9 and DGM8. Should I just measure my lobe height and figure it out that way? Or has someone seen these cams? Also the car has a high idle issue so I havnt been able to hear it idle so no way to tell that way either.

Measuring the lobes would be the best. I have a set of Delta H272's I could through a mic on quick if that would help at all.

ya that would be very appreciated then when i go to work tomorrow and pull my valve cover ill have a good idea what I'm looking for as far as measurements. I've seen a way where you measure side to side then from the tip if the lobe to the bottom and subtract the two to get the lift and then I don't know what you do with that number to figure out the duration, but either way if you give me just the top to bottom measurement I should be in that range right?

This should help some.

Please post your findings here.

I have a set of Delta H272 regrinds (posted the measurements in another thread), my measurements on the lobes where 1.109" on the base circle (smallest measurement) and 1.319" toe height (largest measurement). Hope this helps.
