Send it to ThunderRacing to have it "Cam Doctored" to give you all the specs on the cam. It's about $25. That's the ONLY way you'll ever know for sure. Unless there's a serial # of some sort inscribed on the cam shaft that can be cross referenced by LGM.

It should say "G5X2" and "112" or "114" lsa, so it looks like you didn't get one. 
LG Motorsports marks all their cams by the way.

It says 114+4 on there if you look closely. Another vote for getting it cam doctored nonetheless. I bought a 231/237 off a board member and I'll be getting it doctored no doubt.

Spanky is on the money!
These are the specs i was told the cam has: 232/240 Duration & 595/608 Lift at 114 LSA.
I bought it from employee of a sponsor of this board. I dont think he would pull some scammer ****, but after reading how most peolpe's g5x2's had it scribed in the shaft, i started to wonder. Anyway i can mic the lobes to determine anything? It would have been nice of him to be honest and say it wasnt a true LG cam like he claimed it was... Thanks for the help and suggestions so far!

If it's new, it should have a pink dot and if its used it should have engravings similar to these....
