1) You want to know the mfr.
2) You said above it's a Comp grind.
3) GUESS WHAT??? COMP MANUFACTURED IT!! They would know.
Any confusion is from statements 1) and 2) from you.

Idk why comp could not help:

13158r is 226@050 and .605 lift on 1.7 rockers,
13037r is 227@050 and .598!lift on 1.7 rockers.

Its a weird spec. My guess is a turbo spec, but that is a pure guess.
