Xflow A68 cam

I was tidying up the shed a bit last night and came across a cam wrapped in bubble wrap. I'd forgotten I had it.
On the end it had A68 stamped on it. Does anyone know if this means anything? I've heard of the A2 one, but am just wondering about specs on the A68 if anyone knew anything.

    I found the bit of paper that came with the cam.
    The seller said he was told that it was used in a hill climb xflow. The guy he bought it off said its a Kent A68 grind, with A6 inlet and A8 exhaust with power around 3700 to 8500rpm.
    So looks like its not really a streetable cam then, more an all out crazy race one!

    That makes sense, couldn't understand the A68.
     
    Not sure why they'd combo it that way though, usually it would be the other way around I would have thought (A8 inlet)
     
    You're right, not for a road car.  You could get in reground to a nicer profile, or sell it off and buy a new one
