GM performance parts lists the L-82 and L-46 as the same part number for the cam. They list 312/312 advertised duration, 222/222 duration @ .050 lift, and the lifts are .460/.450 (all figures are intake/exhaust), and the LSA is listed as 114. The lift numbers are confusing...in the description it states .450/.460 and in the spec table, it lists .460/.450. This is the cam they sell now as the L-82 spec cam, but I am not sure if those are the exact numbers for the original.
