Milt Schornak states in his book that the 744 cam was designed to help their cars pull through the quarter mile rather than lay down around the thousand foot mark. He was quite fond of the 744 grind and seemed confident it worked better than the RAIV cam in their 389 & 400 builds.

I have one of those Milt Schornack 744 camshafts that he ran in the 455+ engine in the Wangers 64 GTO.
I had it profiled by the Camshaft Machine Camshaft people (Don Hubbard) who was a Vice President there.
The only thing that matched the STOCK PONTIAC 744 camshaft was the "H" stamped on the nose of the camshaft.
The Cheater Cam was made by Lunati Camshafts for Milt.
Specs were more like 248 @ .050 Intake, 254 @ .050 on the Exhaust lobe.
Just Saying.
