Default Finding LSA on Crane cam???

I've got a custom grind crane cam that came in a motor I bought. I have the cam card for it, but I can't find the LSA or ICL anywhere on the card or cam. Here is what I have on the card:
Part# 144HR00039
Grind# HR-250/372-2S-12
cam timing @ .050
IVO 18* btdc / IVC 52* abdc / max lift 107 atdc / duration 250*
EVO 70* bbdc / EVC 16* atdc / max lift 117 btdc/ duration 266*

I was gunna put it up for sale, but with no specs, it'll never go. Any speacial way to determine LSA and ICL?

LSA = 112* (ICL+ECL)/2 = LSA
Your cam is ground with 5* advance
ICL = 107*
ECL = 117*

Correct 117 - 112 = 5.
Which is not a strange result if reversed 112 117; you then swap the negative sign out

OK, so I'm looking at a 250/266 .632"/.632" 112 LSA+5 @ .050". Kind of a wierd cam for a LS-1 huh? I'm sure it will sell like a box of bricks.
