i'de call TSP and get the exact specs, but as everyone stated, probably a TSP Magic Stick version 3

as quoted from TSP's site....

TSP XS Series Camshaft:
Magic Stick V.3 237/242 .603/.609" Camshaft With Your Choice of Lobe Seperation.

The Magic Stick V3 camshaft is Texas Speed's premier LS1 camshaft! This camshaft has gone as fast as 10.50s n/a with stock heads in our 98 Z28 test car.
This camshaft features Comp Cams XER lobes! The XER lobes have been proven to make big horsepower & torque thanks to their aggressive ramp rates & healthy lift.

2300-6800 RPM Power Band with a peak around 6400rpm; This is an excellent performance camshaft with a rough idle! Custom tuning required

This camshaft typically gains approximately 55+rwhp!

it's a bit on the large side for a DD cam, but it's all in the tune i say. you will find more information then you know what to do with about that cam and any other TSP cam on this site then you'll know what to do with...just look around. i see you have 2 posts, just open your horizons a bit and search around.

a friend of mine has one in his TA, he likes it if that means anything

If you are still uncertain, you can probably find someone to do a cam doctor on it and give you a new card with all the valve events on it. My cam says "huge" on it, but that didn't mean anything.


P.S. Everyone: MS3 is a woman's cam....go bigger. That was a joke as well as the "huge" remark.
