What are the specs of this cam? How do I interpret this? I see a lot of others posting their cam specs as shorter on the intake duration, longer on the exhaust. Why does this say 235 intake, 231 exhaust? It also coincides with the valve lift.

235/231 Duration at .050 with .621/.617 lift on a 115 lobe center. Most cams are built with less duration and lift on the intake side but there is nothing wrong with your cam. Sounds more like a boost cam to me.

Cool, thanks! I wanted to know. After reading the cam guide sticky above, this is a reverse split cam by the specs. More of a boost cam is a good thing, that is the eventual goal of the machine. I suppose that's what my tuner/builder was planning on, based on what we've been talking about. The majority of NA setups I've seen were more exhaust duration over intake, so I was a little confused.
By the looks of it, it also has a -3 degree retard grind, does it not? Subtracting the ICL by the LSA is 112-115=-3. If I remember correctly, this transfers more power into the high rpm.
