Default G5X2 cam specs inside...

I don't know why it the specs on this cam is such big secret. If in face it is such a confidential issue why is it in a national publication?
In GM High Tech Performance, the Nov 2003 issue covers Maggie Stewarts 99 T/A 30th ann.
I list the cam as

LGM G5X2 232*/240* duration @ .050, .600/.600 lift, 112 lsa

The reason cam specs are "secret" is because people are too lazy or incompetent to use v blocks, degree wheel and a dial indicator to spec it out themselves lol
