Looking for info on an SLP cam

My engine was put together by the guy I bought the car from, so I am not sure of everything that he did. However, he gave me some receipts and I found the spec sheet for the cam. It is from SLP Engineering and it says:

Gross Lift: .480 / .487
Tappet Lift: 258 / 264
Duration @ .050: 206 / 212
Lobe Lift: .320 / .325

Is this a good cam for my combo? Most mods are in my sig. The heads are stock L98 heads (maybe ported, but I don't think so). It has headers and is a TPI. Has a TPIS air foil and I think he said they did some porting on the throttle body. Has 1.6 rockers on the intakes and (I think) 1.5 on the exhaust. ADS chip.

Thanks

It's their 51002 cam. Very mild, just a little more duration on the exhaust than stock. Of course with the higher lift and the 1.6 rockers, it'll run better than stock. It's fine for your mods, as would their 51006 cam.

I'm running their 51010 224/230, .502/.510 plus 1.6's on top of that. It's definately more of a higher end cam. But still pass emissions and get good highway milage.

I put this cam in my car, along with new springs, and my car went slower. There's some other guy on the board that had the same problem.
Not to mention SLP's customer service sucks. I called them up right before Xmas and got an answering machine saying that they would be closed till after newyears. Gee, glad I didn't need any technical assistance or anything. In my opinion SLP sux. I will never deal with them again, and I know I'm not the only one with this opinion. If you like that cam, you ought to consider getting it from Comp Cams, they have a roller cam with the exact same specs. I finally got my tech help from Comp Cams. SLP didn't even have a valve spring they recommended for the cam, while Comp Cams gave me not only a part number, but also height and pressure specs on the springs. But hey, that's just my personal experience with SLP.
