That is a 224/228 .568/.571 112LSA. If you look in the cam guide sticky at the top of the internals section it has all the Comp lobe charts.

I saw those lobe numbers for the XE & XE-R camshafts, just didnt know if the grind # X5178 was different from those since it only has the X on it instead of XER or XR.
