I believe the cams are of a 252deg. duration.  10mm lift.  Thats all there is to it I believe.  As far as phasing, i would imagine the 2 are 360deg. off (all in crank degrees).

I need the timing specs, not the cam specs... I have found speculation on a Ti board that the intake is 16 BTDC and the exhaust is 12 ATDC

but need some solid information
