Actually...

I found it's really useful to graph the cam and take a good look at what
it's doing. It worked really well for that cam I had for Peyote that I
couldn't get specs for. You can even pretty much figure out what the likely
clearance spec is by looking at the clearance ramp. If you like a sample of
a cam graph I can send you one. You just hook up a degree wheel and dial
indicator and record lift at every five or ten degree increment.

Sheesh.

Unfortunately, if you don't know the cam grinder and you don't have a cam
sheet, everything is guesswork anyway.

I'd use it as a core unless I could nail down the other info.
