Shadbolt and Colt both marked the end of the cam with the designation. As for the specs lets see:


445 Profile: 
Duration: 280 degrees (30-70-70-30) 
Overlap: 60 degrees 
Lift: 0.507” at the valve 
"Good for about 7200 rpm max" 
Works well with Roadster valve springs 

449 Profile: 
Duration: 256 degrees 
Overlap: xx degrees 
Lift: 0.492” at the valve 
"...?..." 

651 Profile: 
Duration: 296 degrees (38-78-78-38) 
Overlap: 76 degrees 
Lift: 0.487” at the valve 
"I never liked the #651, because it's numerically almost identical to a worn out 445 with it's lobe tip worn off, so pick either a #445 or a #780 instead" - G.B. from Colt Cams 

780 Profile: The Datsun Radial Challenge Cam (DRC) 
Duration: 304 degrees (44-80-80-44) 
Overlap: 88 degrees 
Lift: 0.522” at the valve 
"Should be good for more than 8000 rpm easily" 
Cam oiling spray bar should be used, along with some serious valve springs 

721 Profile: (purported to be a copy of Racer-Brown #391-R, pg. 54 of the later Steve Smith book.) 
306 degrees duration (45-81-81-45) 
Overlap: 90 degrees! (yeowch!, that's racy!) 
Lift: 0.582” at the valve 
Cam oiling spray bar MUST be used, along with max effort valve springs, and maybe even lightweight spring retainters 

TURBO 445I-9E Profile: Ground as #445 on the intake, and #449 on the exhaust 
Intake = 280 degrees @ .507 lift 
Exhaust = 256 degrees @ .492 lift 
Total Overlap : 48 degrees (VERY low overlap) 
Lash: 0.008” Intake, 0.012” Exhaust 
"...has very low overlap, early exhaust opening and intake closing..."
