Stupid Cam Question

[MysteryMachine]

I have a dumb question. Cams have a "grind #" and "part #". When you talk about them what number do you use? Like if someone was to post in a sig or thread how do you refer to it?

the grind # is what the manufacturer uses, the part # is for the catalog.
to look up at say summit, the part # works for sure, the grind # might work.
example:
xe270hr-14 is a CCA-35-351-8

On his example i recognize xe270hr-14 but not CCA-35-351-8. If that tells you anything....
