Default cam help

I just got a 99 Corvette FRC a few weeks ago. I was at a car show/swap meet yesterday and I bought a comp cam for $65. The guy said it would work for an ls1, but after doing research last night, it looks like it's for older model small block chevy engines in vans and trucks.

Here are the cam specs:
Part #12-206-2, Grind #260H-10
212/212 .440/.440 lsa 110

Would this work or should I sell it and get the MTI X1 cam that I was looking at before I bought the comp cam? Any help and advice is appreciated. Thank you.

No. It will not work for your application. Good thing it was only $65! The cam specs you posted above are actually smaller than a stock LS1 cam, albiet more duration and a tighter LSA.

Look into another cam if thats still your goal.

Hey, thanks for the info. I've decided to get the MTI X1 cam that someone was selling on here.
