Those are not the specs. Need lift, duration and LSA plus possible degree advanced.

Based on what you posted, that cam is 232/234 I/E @.050" with an 112LSA and 2' advance ground in. Looks to be an XER lobed cam too. Pretty large street cam by my standards, and I would probably want a little more static compression with that cam by milling the 64cc heads another 0.015-0.020". If you are looking for a choppy cam, you found the right one
