I've searches and searched..An people have asked the same thing with these numbers...The metal lip behind the front journal bearing is the key...So I do believe these are the HO cams...Also would like to ask all the guys running these cams..Have you guys had any issues with using the non HO valve springs?To me atlongs I don't take it up past the factory rev limiter it will be fine..But I don't know..And Im pretty sure that with just my superchips programmer I should be good..I remember reading AirRams post saying superchips and the factory HO cams work well together..An up to 70mm Thortle body..Any disagree?Thanks

Crazy,All these people on here that claim they have HO cams,An not one reply...Is the metal lip behind the front journal area true??I mean the cams don't have either stock or HO part numbers etched into them...

What you should do is find a dealer that has a set in-stock of the known correct part number, go there with your cams and a micrometer and/or caliper and start measuring the lobes of each to compare.

I honestly can't find anything on those part numbers other than people saying they have them and "think" they are HO cams...

Only way to tell is to measure them against the non-HO cams and then compare all the other differences, or you can bring them into a dealer and ask them what's up.

Good luck buddy... We're not going to be able to help you too much more unfortunately
