Default Stock C5 CAM SPECS ???

What are the stock c5 cam specs?? Also, what do the numbers exactly mean? the Intake/Exhaust Duration, Lift, etc? I know what they "are" , but I cant remember what it all means exactly....one forum member briefly explained it to me, but i accidentally deleted the post.

Thanks guys!!

Thank you...but what about the lobe ? and im assuming that with the duration...the intake is how long its open for the ____ (air or gas?) and then the exhaust portion is how long its open for the fumes to get out?

I believe the "lobe" is measured as the angle of seperation between the the lobes.
Exp: 117 is 117 degree angle of seperation. Listed as 117 LSA (lobe speration angle)
