Did you buy it?
How Much?
I'm sure they are great cams for High Perf, drag race, High RPM!
CWC are cycle works performance from the 80's, that I know of.
I have a set that are stamped Z-4 CWC.
They are about .418 lift.
Just buy the stuff, worry about it later.
These are $200 bucks


Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.
More room for The Old Girl, Harley 75 FLH Electra Glide,
Old faithful! Points ign. Bendix Orig. carb.
Starts everytime!

The CWC that is cast into the side of the cams in the photo that also has our cam sprockets, is the name of the manufacturer of the blanks. All American made aftermarket cams has the CWC in them. The company has had name changes or been sold several times, but the blanks still say CWC.
