Ya know, I never thought that MAYBE it was MIS BOXED

But you can check that within reason, right in the engine with a degree wheel. Just "estimate" duration, you'll have to transfer .050 lift from the 1.5X rocker ratio, but you could measure that with no pushrods. That would be .033 at the lifter which "ain't much" so just to estimate duration, just go by "the lifter just moved" and read your degree wheel.

Lift is also easy, just measure the lifter height on the back of the cam against the top of the lobe, and multiply that by 1.5 rocker ratio

How about markings on the cam itself? (Not familiar with comp cam markings)
