Default Cam question

Having to rebuild my L92. Timing gear bolt slipped (single bolt style) and left me with a major repair bill. Original ls3 cam was trashed so I'm replacing it. My mechanic and his parts guy recommended comp cam. Not sure what it all means but (advertising 50) int 269/219 .607
Ex 277/212 .607 112LSA. What kind of gains or changes should I expect?

Id get a different, more proven cam.

And I hope you realize theres a lot of other parts you should replace with a cam...

I didn't mention, but the only mods I have are CAI and longtube headers. Also A4 trans ,25-2800 stall and 3.42 rear. Any help would be appreciated.

The guys @ comp said that this cam was a bad choice because of some duration issues on the exhaust. They recommended

Comp Cams 249-54-453-11

So are you wanting a stock like/emissions friendly cam, and how much valve lift are you willing to go with, under or over .600" ?

some words of wisdom for you.

Keep the lift under .630, when you exceed that your stock rocker arms cant do their job properly anymore. Also with these cams id highly suggest you to get the comp trunion upgrade for your rocker arms. last thing you want is an engine full of puked out needle bearings
