Hard cam question, seriously....

What's the intake centerline of an LT-1 350 mechanical lifter cam?

Here's the rest of the specs:

LSA 166

lift@.050
.435
.455

Duration:
242
254

I'd like to know the correct intake center line in crank degrees so I can do a semi-accurate DD2K run.

I believe you can get that off Comp's page of cam specs, in the list of the factory replacement cams... www.compcams.com then go to the cam spec cards.

Why on earth would anybody want to use that cam for anything? It was a terrible cam. Too much duration and not enough lift. The 754 OTC replacement racing cam for that application was a far better piece, for that matter even the old so-called 324°/324° .485"/.485" (302 optional) Z-28 cam would be better for a modern motor especially with 1.6 rockers. I hope all you're doing is comparing DD #s to the factory's "as-built" specs!

I'm sure the specs for the duration are "advertised" and not @ .050"
