Dave, back in the day, the catalog said:
Iskenderian RR550 - Timing supplied with cam
FWIW, that was the mid-level roller; there was an RR7000.

Don't know if this helps but, from a 1970 Isky catalog they list a 550 grind number as having .540 lift valve timing In 57-93 Ex 93-57 330 degree duration .030 lash. those timing numbers give it a 108 LSA . they define type as Super LeGerra in the back of the catalog they list this as 1/4 mile drag, smooth action allowing over 8000 rpm, supercharged or N/A.

I ran one in 1967 in a 1955 Chevrolet C/MP with a 327. Over a Crane 308 roller it was about 2mph. faster. I am sure Isky can give you the information.

There were a lot of 'RR' category cams. The numbers usually referred to the valve lift.
