Been watching this for a while? Seems expensive but anyone have any insight?

I remember General Kinetics cams from the '70s. I wonder if the duration is "advertized" or at a specific lift?

that cam is also on ebay if you look at completed listings you will see that a mild rc went for 150 so I would be trying to deal especially unknown.the big rc cams on there 1 327 400+ 1 454 500+!!!!bill

Hi Scottly,
The GK cams were very popular with the chevy brigade in the early 70's.  For a few years they dominated auto drags in Australia...................hence on the tag they mention chev.

I fitted one of these cams to a Honda and it was fine , about what I expected from memory

Re the Honda duration I cant remember if adv or at lift ?? old age  just compare to megacycle or Dynoman cams and with the lift and dur numbers it will be obvious. but I do remember the chevy cams I fitted were all at .050 lift.   They were a very good chevy cam.
cheers johno

I have a General Kinetics cam in my 69 pontiac engine. It's a little lumpy.
