Need help with lb9 cam and l98 cam.

I have a 305 tpi 5 spd. so it has the decent cam in it. I have a chance to get an l98 cam for cheap or even free. What gain could I expect from the L98 cam or are they the same thing?? BTW what are the numbers on my cam does anyone know? And what are the numbers on the L98 cam if it is different. Thanks in advance for the help.
