It's very easy once you know what you are looking at.

Look for the .050" lift column for I1 (intake lobe 1) and E1 (exhaust lobe 1). The number listed directly to the right of this number is your duration at .050" lift. If you ordered a 224 cam, this number should be 223-224 degrees or so.

To find your max valve lift, locate the "peak lift" column. This is your peak lobe lift on the cam. Take this number and multiply it by your rocker arm ratio. Stock is 1.7:1. For instance, the 224 lobe has a peak lobe lift of ~0.332". So, this would be 0.332" * 1.7 = .564"

To find your lobe separation angle, take the I1 centerline and the E1 centerline, add them together, and take half of that. So, for example if your I1 centerline is 108* and your E2 centerline is 116*, you get 108+116 = 224*/2 = 112* LSA.

This should cover most of it. Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Jason
