If the cam is a 205º/212º .540/.540 it sounds like a very streatable cam to me....if it's on a 112 lsa it'll lope a little, on a 114 it'll sound pretty stock. That cam is even smaller than the 206/212 Comp cam that everyone says idles and drives like stock

It is cheap too, $250 from lingenfelter.com

I would be okay with a small lope, but i'd rather err on the side of caution.

$250.00 !!!!!....that's got to be the best deal going on a cam !!!!

I think you would like it a lot if your looking for something relatively stock sounding and aren't expecting a huge power gain

i have been contemplating going with that cam. I think it would compliment my radix pretty well and still maintain stock driveabiltiy.

yeah, i think it would be fine. I did some research on it, and it seems like it would be perfect for my application. I was strongly leaning towards the TR old man cam, but this would probably work better. I am not expecting a huge power gain, just something a little better than stock where I can still get decent mileage.

If there is zero advance or retard, aren't the LSA and ICL identical? For example, on the cam I got, the LSA was 114 and the ICL was 110, equating to a 4 degree advance.

I talked with Lingenfelter about this cam of theirs. It is a 116.5 straight up with no advance or retard. So aren't the LSA and ICL the same number? I'm willing to be wrong on this, I'm pretty new to the whole cam thing.

ICL and LSA CAN be the same.....but assuming that they ARE can cause you problems.....I never make that assumption, I ALWAYS like to know the LSA %100

Very rarely does anyone post their cam specs as "222º/222º .566/.566 112 ICL/112 LSA +0º advance".....we usually just get the "222º/222º .566/.566 112 LSA" part and have to guess at the ICL and ground-in advance
