I got some cams a while back that I was told they were BC 272's. There is no way these are BC cams, because they would have BC clearly marked on them which they do not.

I brought my cams to Cam Motion to have the profiled to see exactly what they are, but they couldn't tell me exactly what they are because of a bunch of different factors I didn't know.

SOOoo I'm turning to my fellow DSM'ers to help me out.

Cam 1:
DURATION-------> 245.8----Crank Deg @ .006

Cam 2:
DURATION-------> 186.6----Crank Deg @ .005

The cams were profiled with a .750 Follower.

There are a bunch of numbers and info, but the guy said these are the important ones....so I hope you can help.
 
Cam 1 seems like an aftermarket 264/272, but they measured it at near zero lift, so I can't say for sure.
Find any detailed info on cams is only a website away, BC has a bit of detail on their site. I know that exhaust cam(cam 2?) is stock, that's a really low duration.

verify that "cam 2" isn't supposed to be .050 rather than .005 I believe that might be a misprint
