C89 is a scat cam, but not 89C.
Dial it, in an old case, rank and pulley and you will know what it has.

I should have mentioned in my first post that it is a regrind standard VW 113 camshaft........not a billet grind.

lift is .350" on all lobes.

Looks like I'm going to have to set up a case and crank etc and start measuring 🥲
