Default Cam question

Found a Crower Hyd roller cam for SBC, LT-1 & LT-4 engines. intake duration 286 deg., lift 486. exhaust duration 291 lift 503. Lobe center line 108 deg on CL but can not find these specs on their site. Would this be worth putting in my LT1? And would it have any lope to it at all?

96 WS6 M6 pretty stock

I did not find that grind on their site BUT I would expect a shelf cam of that advertized duration to be probably more duration than you want on a "96 WS6 M6 pretty stock".
On the otherhand the lift is really lowfor that duration which makes me wonder if it might actually be an LT-1 flat tappet grind. The dash after LT and before the 1 means the early 70s engine not our 90s engine.

Crower does make quality products but I would probably pass on this example.
The 114LSA of all their shelf LT1/LT4 stuff is not something most of us would suggest for NA use either.
