Duration@.006 on TSP Cams

Been a while since ive posted here but putting together a 5.3 flat top engine for my truck and have one of the new 224/228 TSP in house ground cams. The cam card that came with it only gives duration at .050, lobe lift, valve lift@1.7, lobe sep and icl and I've been playing with some dynamic compression calculators trying to find my DCR and cant without my duration at .006 or advertised.
Any ideas on anywhere those numbers are? Was going to try and base it on a comp grind with similar duration @.050 but as i understand it all varies cam to cam? Thanks!

Nah was kind of trying to figure something this weekend, work kind of prevents getting much done during the week.

Thanks for the weak response though!

Well, weak but obvious. For lack of sources around here (note I was the only response so far...) it was the obvious choice. Plus you didn't indicate being in a rush or anything...

Heh it is what it is was just curious, I'll find a chance to call them next week.
I'm sure if it were a "what cam should I run" thread I'd have sparked some interest

That's because they see ALL the other ones asking Google-able questions and think it's OK...

You wont copy a tsp lobe to a comp cam lobe. you need way more than adv duration to even do that. Plus tsp gets custom cams out next day vs 5 -7 days and they are on sale for $349. no reason i see to use comp for that.

This may be too late but the Adv duration of the 224/228 cam is 276/280
