Default Need cam specs

Hey guys. I bought a used cam on here, but didn't get the card with it, and I forgot what the specs were. The comp cams site couldn't find the specs based on the numbers I gave it. Here's all the #'s I have from the side of the cam: XER281HR-12, 4D5405, and 2871 F. I would appreciate any help ya'll can give me. If I am missing a number or something, let me know. Thanks!

One more quick question. The 112+2 effectively makes it a 114, which is what the guy told me it was when I bought it, but can I run it as either? Just not exactly sure how the XXX+X cams work as opposed to cams that are just the 112, 114, etc.

112 is the lobe seperation and the +2 is the amount of advance. Two seperate things.

112lsa, 110icl
the +2=2*of advance ground into the cam, which makes it have a 110 intake centerline.

Hmmmm, so this cam will probably be a bit more radical than I had previously anticipated.
