Camshaft Identification

I was trying to figure out which camshaft my crate motor came with, it's an ATK Performance, 357c.i. motor, with a Hydraulic roller cam specs Lift is .528IN, .536EX, and 220IN, 224EX @.50. There is no mention of LSA. I was wondering whether or not anyone could identify it, and let me know if it's good. Thanks all.

Re: Camshaft Identification

Why don't you ask the supplier of the crate engine?
Nothing to say it is a well known mainstream cam ;
could be anybodies no name cam (or a custom grind speced by the engine builder)

Whether it is" any good" depends on what else is in your engine ( CR / heads/ etc )
and your intended use of the engine

Okay, here we go. I asked the engine builder, and they said it was a custom grind, but I didn't honestly trust that, but if thats common practice then so be it. Here's the rest of the info on the motor,
C.R. 10:1, Bore and stroke 4.040, 3.48, Heads are edelbrock E-streets, 64cc combustion chamber, Intake runner 185cc, Exhaust runner 60cc, Intake valve 2.02, Exhaust valve 1.6, 1.6 scorpion roller rockers, Cloyes double timing chain, Hypereutectic pistons with moly rings, Quickfuel hot rod series Carburetor 680cfm, 22010 super comp headers, going through a T-56, aluminum 4th gen driveshaft, and the rear is the only thing I havent bought yet, but it'll be a strange s60 with 3.73's.
My intended use is to have a fun car, thats quick, and might see some runs in the 1/4 mile with really no targeted time. My hopes are for low 13's, high 12's, but my hopes and reality are probably different haha.
