Help me figure out my cam card (huge pic) I bought this cam off a member of one of the boards and plan on installing it soon in my Camaro. It's suppose to be a TR 224/224/114 lsa. I've scanned the cam card it came with and highlighted the duration and lift. Everything looks good except the lift on the exhaust side; it reads 0.0366. 
Am I reading this wrong or did I get a different cam?

The highlighted area is the lift at TDC (top dead center). I think thats the lift when the piston is all the way at the top.
You need to go one row down and one column over to get the max lobe lift. Multiply that by the rocker arm ratio (1.72) and that gives you the lift of the cam.

You got the correct cam: Basically it's 225/224 .565/.560 114 (ish) LSA (+4)
Multiply the peak lift of the lobe times 1.7 and you get your valve lift.
