Default Manually Degreed Cam Lobes

Looking for manually recorded cam lobe lift vs degrees rotation for any cam lobes. Any idea where to look for this?

Try doing a search (Google or etc) for Cam Dr files, graphs, or etc

As there are a few machines out there, Cam Dr being one, Audie Cam Pro Plus being another, that will measure complete lobes.

A decent amt of engine shops have them....and a few cam companies use them after grinding a cam. I know Cam motion does...as an example.

Cam Dr files or similar from anywhere will never be provided to anyone outside the company that generated them. I been that route. Engine block, degree wheel and dial indicator readings are what I am after.

I'm not sure what you mean?

Typically, if you bring your cam to a shop that has a "cam doctor" machine, they simply put the cam on it, and measure the lobes at various points, and give you that data that has been recorded.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for. If you plug your cam specs into your modeling software it should give you the profile at various lifts (mine does). Are you trying to validate what it is giving you? I'm sure it's not perfectly accurate because it's just estimating the intensity of the lobe. I just installed the cam in the 502 I'm building. I could profile it for you if you would like.
