Default Weird cam size in G8?

I have a 09 g8 with:
231/244 .615 .630 112+4
TEA ls3 Heads and Rick Crawford manifold
Looks Lt's
Corsa exhaust
Vcm intake
3200 stall


Car was tuned previously at 700ft elevation by the previous owner who wanted to go with a procharger. So im not sure if he chose the cam for boost only.

I'm trying to figure out if I should go with a different cam or not... just trying to keep the car all-motor for awhile.

what makes you think the cam is a "weird" size? LS3 heads like a wide split.

Haven't seen that particular size before... Just looking for a little bit of advice on what that cam size would be good for mostly?

Nothing wrong with the cam specs as I see it. A cam with those specs and ported heads is good for going fast!

Hell....it's about the same as my Lingenfelter GT1-1 cam that's in my LS3 (1995 Impala SS).

I say, if the car drives OK and meets your performance criteria, then there's no need to change it.
