Answer
    Well, you got a problem there.  Cam Dynamics was the budget division of Crane Cams, and Crane has ceased production of automotive camshafts for the moment (they were bought out several years ago).  This has created problems for everyone in the performance business, Crane was the the biggest outfit in the country.  They also had excellent over-the phone technical help.  Your best bet would be to call Competition Cams™.  They will be able to interpret those numbers and give you something equivalent from their line.  I would also recommend that you talk to them about something more modern in the same range.  There has been a lot of research and development in the field of cam profiles in the last twenty years, with some real improvements in driveability and power production.
