207/214, if memory serves me correctly.

As far as overlap, I'm not sure, to calculate it I think you need more info than you've been provided with. Maybe call and ask Terry, and/or see what BigTex has to say, he's the man on cams.

those #'s don't seem to jive with the 214/222 spec, yes?

Maybe....I could be referencing an old lobe sheet. According to my materials, the following are 214 lobes (with associated lifts): X-2122 (.329), 2141 (.311), 2151 (.345), and 2181 (.279). The only 222 lobe I found is X-2232 (.287).

Just guessing, maybe your grind# is X-2181/2232-15+4

Course, any of this info could be outdated or superceded.

that's roughly what I'm getting too, I'll have to call and confirm of course, thanks bro....

To other Cam guru's: any other things I should be considering here? Am I in the ball park?

Just wondering, but why would you consider the Lingenfelter GT2-3? Two people have Radix, custom spec'd camshafts and neither come out looking like it.

You have Nakid w/ a 205/212 114ld & Grip w/ a 214/222 115ld

I understand that we're not looking at all of the specs, but seriously. A 118.5* lobe distance and a 13* exhaust bias. Watch out.

I'd go thru the trouble of filling out Cammotions cam form (btw - it took me longer to register than to fill out the form. We are talkin 2 minutes for a custom spec'd cam to your application), before taking a wild guess with the gt2-3.

Here's an SLP Cam that might be good:

Looking for a major performance improvement from your LS1-powered car or truck? This cam was designed with performance and driveability in mind. SLP engineered this cam to deliver the best throttle response, torque and horsepower available and has optimized a specific profile for both automatic or manual equipped cars. In the case of the F-car, you can expect an improvement of up to 25 hp over the stock camshaft. Quarter mile times can be reduced by as much as 3-4 tenths.
Camshaft Specs: Valve Lift Duration Duration@.050
in: .559" 267º 214º
ex: .566" 275º 222º
Centerline - 111º
Lobe Separation - 115º

thoughts?

Without more specs, you can't tell much. You can have two cams with the same .05 specs & lsa/icl that have opposite power bands and power.

Do you have headers on your truck? True duals? Give some detals on the exhaust and/or any future plans on it.
