please help me understand specs on this cam Duration @ .050 221/221 114+4
Lobe lift .330/.330
Valve lift 1.7 Rocker .561/.561
LA114 is that correct what is the +4 is that advance?
what would be the characteristics of this cam on a stock LS1 with 799 heads?

Duration is how long the valves are open.
Lift is how far the valves open.
The +4 is camshaft advance that is ground into the camshaft.
That cam in a stock headed LS1 would be a good DD cam, have a choppy/fast machine gun sounding idle.

That looks like a Lunati cam, Valve events at .050 are:
0.5>IVO
40.5>IVC
48.5>EVO
-7.5>EVC
118>ECL
-7* Overlap
So in general looks like with LS6 intake about 6000 rpm peak, good midrange trq potential, fairly stealthy, will pass Cali emissions, power range 1400>6300 rpm (346 stock)
