Yes... this particular cam is a Volvo piece. I'm not sure if it was a replacement camshaft or simply one from an engine with low mileage.

I have one brand new in-the-box aftermarket replacement D cam, I may chuck it up in a block and take some base circle runouts, just for the heck of it.

And while I have your ear... I'm thinking about moving up a class, and one of the things that would be allowed is a change in valve lift from stock to .450" (measured at the valve, zero lash).

Any thoughts on this? I can change camshaft or rockers or both. I cannot do any additional head work beyond what is allowed in my current class, i.e. no porting or polishing allowed, stock valve springs required.

I realize there are probably better cams out there, but for starters, what about the D cam with 1.6 rockers (assuming such pieces exist)? A worthwhile endeavor, or would I never know the difference?
