Re: NEED STOCK CAM SPECS

The LG4 cam specs are impossibly tiny. 178/194 duration at .050", .350/.385" lift, IDK the LSA. Why not get something slightly better? You can do a little better without hurting anything. Wouldn't even need any tuning or any parts changes, beyond new lifters, a new timing chain, and a cam change gasket set.

Re: NEED STOCK CAM SPECS

springs are a wear item. All you need to change them is a $20 tool you can get at your local NAPA. springs are $26, plus a small s&h charge, and you can do the valve seals while you're at it for another $16 or less.
For springs, try www.competitionproducts.com, part # 98111.
for a cam, I'd use a Summit K-1101, with or without new springs.
