Default Unknown Camshaft. Help!!!

I have this cam in my 99 trans am and I have no idea what the brand or specs are. I finally had the opportunity to take a look during a clutch swap, but I have no idea what any of these numbers mean. Does anyone know what kind of cam this is? Or what these numbers mean?

Thats a Comp camshaft. The top row is the intake/exhaust lobe part numbers. The second row is hydraulic roller (HR) with a 116 LSA ground with 2 degrees of advance (+2).

Apparently the cam is a custom grind 226/230 .585/592 with a 116+2 lsa and xer lobes. I've been driving on this cam for 3 years not knowing the specs and being asked multiple time about it but finally today I know.

What heads do you have on there with that wide lsa and how does it drive? I'm running a 226/230 112+4 with stock 241 heads and it's pretty awesome

I put some stock 243 heads on it a year ago. It made 374whp and 350wtq pulling to 6600 on a heart breaker mustang dyno. It drives so well on the street, I can cruise at 1k rpm in 6th gear with no bucking

There was an old EPS shelf grind pretty close to those specs too. Should have great midrange grunt.
