Default Finding LSA on Crane cam???

I've got a custom grind crane cam that came in a motor I bought. I have the cam card for it, but I can't find the LSA or ICL anywhere on the card or cam. Here is what I have on the card:
Part# 144HR00039
Grind# HR-250/372-2S-12
cam timing @ .050
IVO 18* btdc / IVC 52* abdc / max lift 107 atdc / duration 250*
EVO 70* bbdc / EVC 16* atdc / max lift 117 btdc/ duration 266*

I was gunna put it up for sale, but with no specs, it'll never go. Any speacial way to determine LSA and ICL?

All that is on the cam card Predator. It still dosen't list LSA or ICL, which is what I'm looking for.

LSA = 112* (ICL+ECL)/2 = LSA
Your cam is ground with 5* advance
ICL = 107*
ECL = 117*

Correct 117 - 112 = 5.
Which is not a strange result if reversed 112 117; you then swap the negative sign out

OK, so I'm looking at a 250/266 .632"/.632" 112 LSA+5 @ .050". Kind of a wierd cam for a LS-1 huh? I'm sure it will sell like a box of bricks.
