Did MTI send me the wrong cam? I ordered a cam with the specs being 237/242 duration with 603/609 lift on a 113 LS. But Comp Cams sent me a 236/242 duration with 601/610 lift on a 113 LSA. 
They also sent me single springs but i think it was suppose to come with duals for a bigger lift cam? Did they send me the wrong cam and springs or am I a retard? I'm not tryin to bash comp or mti, i just want to know what went wrong. I included some pics.

It is not the lift that gets you it is the deration.
I could put a 3 inch lift on a cam and run a stock deration and never see the piston.
It just went from 609 to 610.
My LPE cam was supost to be a 228/228/588/588 114 but it was a 228/228 590/590 114

But yes give david a call an he will clear up everything.

Comp dosen't have a 237 lobe, so they ground the 236. Lunati grinds the MS3 and they have diffrent lobes than comp. The number diffrences are going to make no diffrence. It would be more trouble to send it back. I would get dual springs though. XE-R lobes are rough.

i am just wondering if im gunna have to retard the cam becuase of the lift. the y1 clears with no flycutting right? but when i called mti, steve said that u had to flycut the pistons for the y1. So i was like either he is wrong or im a dumb ***.
