Default Specs for the stock '99 cam

I have the shop manuals, but the only thing I can find out about my cam is the lift from the engine specs tables. No duration or LSA information is present. Does anyone have this info? TIA...

What lift do you have?

I dont know for sure these are the specs but maybe 201/203 @ .050 .500” 116 LSA? I've also heard like .472/.479 lift.

The lift in my '99 Helms manual is 0.292 * 1.70 = 0.496.

I'm trying to put together a spreadsheet for camshaft comparisons for my show/display board. But for the life of me I couldn't find the duration or LSA information. I've done site searches, Internet searches, even made phone calls!! I find that quite odd for such a comprehensive technical manual... thanks... keep 'em coming folks.

See you get SOO much conflicting information. One reason is some of it is C5 cam and some Fbody cam, which have been different through the years since the C5 has never had an EGR. But basically the cams were the biggest in 97/98 and gotten smaller since then.
