anyone know what cam this is?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated,I have a camshaft for a chevy small block (roller) that I cannot figure out what it is. The numbers stamped into it are between the first lobe and what would be the lobe for the fuel pump (has no hump). In between the lobes the cam has flat spots on it all the way around, and the number doesn't match any company i've looked at so far. The number is 155.CPC.BC.17...155.CPC.BC.17... I'm not exactly sure what's the begining or end, but I assumed that the three dots meant the end of the number(the dots are up higher on the cam) I bought it for almost nothing for my 98 350 vortec and i'd like to figure out if i can use it without having to measure the specs myself.
P.S. This is my first post,but i've been coming on the sight for a while to get answers for random questions. Lots of smart people on here,awesome site!

Re: anyone know what cam this is?

It's a stock GM cam.

The most depressing one you could possibly have, out of the rollers.

https://www.thirdgen.org/mods3 Scroll all the way down to the bottom and look at part # 10088155 (the one that ends in 155.....) Read em and weep. And of course, throw it in the trash when you get the tears under control. It's absolutely the worst possible cam you could use, if you're looking for any kind of "performance". It's the one that's part of the package that keeps the TBI 305s slow.
