Default Need help identifying a camshaft

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble identifying a camshaft so I figured you might be able to help. When I bought my car (2000 SS) I was given a spare camshaft uninstalled with it. I've got a friend looking for a cam, so I mentioned to him that I have this spare one, and I'd call Comp to try to get some help identifying it. These are the specs I got from Comp:

Duration: 214/221@.050"
Lift: .559"/.566"
LSA: 115+4

The guy I bought the car from told me he was pretty sure it was an SLP hydraulic roller cam, but I can't find anything from SLP with those specifications... Or anyone for that matter, which has me a little concerned and confused. I'm thinking about calling up Comp again to verify, but if anyone on here has any insight or information it'd be greatly appreciated!

PS: The label on the box I'm pretty sure is for a Torquer V3 from TSP, but I'm also pretty sure that this isn't that cam. It's just the box I got the cam in to store it.

No need to call them again. What they told you is correct, why don't you believe them?

#3710r is a lobe number
#3714r is the other lobe number
HR = hydraulic roller
15 = 115LSA
+4 = +4 advance

UD 6832 is the serial number of your specific camshaft.

You can look up the lobes for yourself just like the rest of us do, just search 3710 and 3714...leave off the "R'" and youll find them. I think its great they put out that information for everyone!

It wasn't so much that I didn't believe them, more that I just wanted to call again to make sure I got the right information... But that works much better. Thanks a bunch, that makes my life much easier. I didn't know that they had that info online! Learn something new every day

It is a XE "high lift" cam
As you said:
214/222 .559/.566 115+4 LSA

These are the Valve events at .050 lift

-4>IVO
38>IVC
50>EVO
-8>EVC
119>ECL
-12* overlap

So with LS6 intake it will peak ~5800>5900 rpm (in 346cid), -12* overlap so very stealthy (no lope), power range ~1200>6200 rpm (in 346cid)
