I've had this cam for a while now. Just getting around to using it. It was called the "r/t+10."
They also had a "regular" r/t cam available at same time. I'm thinking late 90s era.
Was a broken box special from a buddy that worked at the local dealer at the time, UPS brought it in all taped up. As I remember it was missing a couple of lifters but I have another whole set here anyway so not worried about that.

Does anybody have a cam card from back in the day? I remember the lift was .467/.482
Back in the day most called it "the sausage cam". What did they mean?
Mainly I'm questioning the angle it was ground on, I believe that towards the end of that cam being "an item" it was listed as being ground on a 119*.
I thought I saw somewhere that it was really supposed to say 109*. Anyone have anything on it? And what application it would be "good for"?
Especially as that I have a couple of magnum blocks sitting around, and I just went on a long ride today (CL wild goose chase) to pick up a mate to my one uncracked magnum head.
The guy ran into same issue I did long ago where I went thru a handful of sets of them and ended up with only one good head out of a few sets on hand. Fortunately it was cheap, I'm sure he spent more at the machine shop having it checked out than what I paid for it.
 
Please no criticism of stock magnum heads keep it to talk about the cam I asked about thanks

This is the first I've heard of it. @Bighead440 is really sharp with this stuff. Maybe he will chime in.
