Default Cam woes

I got to find out what cam this guy put in this car. Ive got 9.5" of steady vac. No vac leak this I know. Any ideas out there? He said the lift was .572 which is something I'd never put in a street car. Oh and its an absolute pig MPG wise in the city. Good power 2500 and above.

Take off a valvecover and put a dial indicator on the pushrod. At least it'll be close to what the lift (and with a degree wheel) will tell you what duration.

It sounds to me like you need to pull it out no matter what it is, and replace it with something streetable.
