Default they sent me the wrong cam... should i just go with it?

I ordered a 222/226 .566/.570 114+4 cam from comp. I was told by patrick g this cam would be good in a DD in my lq4 w/ ls3 heads/intake and a stock 4l80e pushing 3.23s in my 68 camaro. Comp shipped a 222/230 .566/.570. What difference will this cam make? Keep in mind this is for a DAILY DRIVER. Thanks!

if u are running stock LS3 heads, the added duration on the exaust side will only help. is everything else the same ie. lobe style, lobe sep., +4 on advance?

This is not the first time Comp has done this so don't feel singled out..... they make this mistake more often than it gets reported....lol

I would contact them about it and see what they say.

Aside from possible partial refund or some kind of swag, I would probably run it.

As long as it's still 114+4 I'd run it. IMO, for a DD you'll want that advance.
