Default 01 Factory cam specs?

Does anyone here know the factory cam specs for a 2001 Firebird LS1?

I am researching a cam upgrade and need to figure out what my baseline is.

Thanks,
BILL

Dont quote me, but im pretty sure lift on that year cam is about .495 on both intake and exhaust, and the LSA i beleive is 115 or 116. Not sure about duration, but i think its in the lower 205 range...

why is it that the newer cams (01-02) appear to have less duration, less lift, and smaller LSA, but are making more power on the dyno than the 98-00 models

The '01/'02 cam I put on the Cam Dr. came out of a '01 Trans Am we were doing heads/cam on this week. When we get another '01/'02 car in, we'll go ahead and test another one.
