I picked up a engine with a RC 454 cam. Does anyone have specs or know anything about it?

Thanks guys.

Pewe I did do a search before posting, I seen that thread. I was really hoping to hear from people with hands on experience using this cam, what they liked or did not like...

Has anyone used this cam? I have one in an engine and I think I would like something a little smaller. Anyone have something laying around?

Seems like a whole lot of lift and duration for anything other than a big valve head, big cc stroker motor for a series SOHC dragbike. Not efficient in any fashion for the street with those lobes centers.
