What cam do I have?

1986 360 GLE MY85 B200E

I was texting Logan360 and he said he didn't get a torque surge at circa 3K in his GLT B200E where as I do, we though it might be due to different cams. So I was wondering what cam I have and is it any good?
I don't know much about the different types of cams so apologies if my info is a bit vague.

I did a bit of a search online and found the turbobricks page on cams and it says B200E engines came with V cams, any good?

The B230E's came with a V (but when fitted to a GLT a K)

I'm not 100% sure in a 360 but 240's with a B200E have a A cam

Here's a link to the turbobricks cam list

Perhaps the cams varied from car to car not just the engines.

We have recently covered cam's on v3m. there are so many different one's its nuts. You have to pull the can cover off and it should be etched on the cam if I'm not mistaken.

The stamp is at the end where the blanking plug is (bulkhead end)

Pretty certain it'll be an A cam. What model year is Logan360's 360? May be due to the 86 MY being higher compression?
