Default Cam specs for Merc 525 EFI?

Does anyone know what they are. They sound much different than the 500 EFI's, better.

Lunati makes a cam part number 02005. It's lunatis version of cranes 525sc cam. It not a roller. I dont have cranes part number off hand but I have got it some where. The specs on lunatis are at ,.050" 224 and 234 with lift of .534 and .559 with a 114 deg sep.

sorry, my bad. Its possible that its the same cam it just sounds smoother because of the fuel injection. If any has the answer I would like to know also. I'm guessing its crane's 139741 roller cam.

due to the headers and increased compression would be a good guess.

Advanman- You could be right....but don't you guys think the upgraded heads and a true scavenging exhaust is worth more than 25hp, all things being equal [HP500 To HP525]?? The cam you guys are speculating is decent jump from an HP500. I would guess same cam and maybe even a little less on the exhaust because of the headers, say a 230/230 114 lsa??? Take Care Berg
