Hiya guys just wondering if you can help me, I've been having a little route through my garage earlier and came across a cam and I'm not sure as to what or who profiled it.

The cam iteself is a slot drive cam and is stamped up KCNASA1M

Has anybody any idea's as to what this cam is and if it's any good?Anyone got any facts and figures for said cam?

Ah yeah I forgot KC is Kent, didn't click as its all one word where as all the Kent Cam's I've used have always had a space after the KC.

I've left my bloody kent book at work so can't find out, but at the top of my head I think its one of the cam's designed for stock car's

I've had 4 kent cams and none of them said kent cams, I'm not sure if they said KC, I know 1 of them says MD296SP and another says MD286 SB, mine deffo didn't have words on the them anyway

Thanks very much, shall try and find some info about the cam, just found Kent's online booklet but I'm not sure as to which cam it is under the NASA spec ones as there is 5 of them.

Under the end of the 1M it also say's 99, and then underneath that there is I take it a serial number which is 00302

They don't say Kent Cam's on them, just stamped up KC and then whatever cam it is, my 286 has it, aswell as my 276, which also has XDB on it aswell for a x-drilled billet cam.

If that cam is for a grass track car, could the 99 refer to 99H, i.e. the engine number for the 998/1000’s?
