Google search gave me a return for E1840P as Elgin Industries 228/230 at 585 lift on 116.

Sincerely thank you so much, forgive my ignorance not knowing i could goggle that info, it must be accurate, cause i was told it was exactly those specs except i thought it was on a 112, not 116. I wonder how this cam will work in a stalled auto. Any suggestions?

Cam should work fine in a stalled auto, But I personally wouldn't want a 116lsa, I would at least want 112 for any cam I buy. Just my opinion. It also depends on how big your stall is, if you have a big stall then you can go to a bigger cam.

Thank you, i got it used and a decent deal, im gonna try it, i hope the higher lsa will pull great up top and maybe keep things docile down low. Running a stock longblock w longtubes 11.2s @ 119 and hoping to go deep into the 10s with this and elec wp. Might workout best w 116 since im having hooking issues. Thanks again.

Yes it will work fine. What size stall will you be running?
