he either rounded or thats the exact grind as stated by the cam card. its listed at 117.5 but there are variences among grinds. my 111 lsa is 110.5. a full degree is pretty high but its possible.

I've just got a GT2-3 and the sticker on the box says 118.5 LSA.

This cam first had a 117.5 lsa it was just changed to a 118.5 lsa this year. I have seen very good HP out of this small cam. It produces like a small 220-222 cam but it dynos very good with stock heads. Its a great alternative to the ls6 cam. I didnt like the high lift of the cam myself and went with a B1, i also wanted alittle rougher idle. Its one of those how does it do it cams.
