Default Stock Cam Profile

Does anyone have the stock cam profile for a 98? I am looking for a Lift vs degrees plot of the intake and exhaust lobes, not the specs of the cam itself
thanks

WOW! All I can do is drop you the specs as far as the rest of the details you might call Comp Cams' Tech Dept and see if they can help you

1.6.) What are the specs of my cam?
Published specs for Corvette cams are as follows:

'97-00 LS1: 0.472/0.479, 202/210 on 117
'01+ LS1: 0.500/0.500, 198/208 on 115.5
'01 LS6: 0.551/0.547, 204/218 on 117.5
'02+ LS6: 0.551/0.547, 204/218 on 117.5


Thanks,Matt

I though someone might have measured it. I have access to a cam doctor and i know of a stock cam that is coming out of a 98, but i don't know when it is coming out.

I need this data because I want to model my engine with GT-power, and i am in the information gathering phase.

Above information is NOT accurate See Below for Correct C5 camshaft figures:

C5 camshafts:
'97-'99 LS1 .479/.472 lift, 207/199 duration, 117 Lobe Separtion Angle
'00 LS1 .500/.500 lift, 209/198 duration, 115.5 LSA
'01-04 LS1 .479/.467 lift, 207/196 duration, 116 LSA
'01 LS6 .525/.525 lift, 211/204 duration, 116 LSA
'02-04 LS6 .551/.555 lift, 218/204 duration, 117.5 LSA

2000 camshaft was given more lift and duration to compensate for the inclusion of pre/pup cats on California and north eastern United States sold vettes to comply with emissions requirements. All '00 LS1s got the larger camshafts, but only those sold for delivery in California or north eastern USA, got the hp robing pre/pup cats installed. This means the non-pre/pup cat '00 C5s got some "free" additional hp!...maybe 5hp?
