Don't go by that info on the cam card in the picture! Unfortunately, the wrong numbers got sent to Comp, and that is the wrong cam.

218º/224º .563"/.568" on a 114º lsa

These are the numbers Richard suggested, and it does look like a great cam. Sorry for the mix up....mistakes happen.

Because of the vaccuum operated bypass on a Radix system you need to maintain good manifold vacuum.I ran a 228/234,115+4 Compcam with XER lobes.The setup made big power,but had major driveability problems because it only had about 9-10"vaccum at idle and cruzing speeds.I was constantly having boost creep,not a good situation especially when Police are around or the streets are wet.The Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam makes really good power and is exceptionally well behaved.

You'd think a new pair of eyeglasses would help stop these stuipd mistakes but Nnoooo!
The second time's the charm here. Comp was able to find a hole in the schedule and get Holty the proper cam on the way.

Anyone need a small cam with a big split?

Sorry for the mixup Holty. We'll make it right by friday. Thanks for your patience.

Richard

I got this cam on a 112 LSA for my engine. I was looking for a little bit of more lope at a idle.

Hey man, don't sweat it, mistakes happen. I do however greatly appreciate the dilligence on your side to get me the correct cam by the time frame i asked for. That to me is worth alot. I highly value your customer service, thats why i keep coming back and giving you my money. You're alright in my book Richard.
