The carb cams have less lift or duration on the exhaust from the factory, I'll have to check in my books... Anyway, it's not the same. However, you can get it grinded to any spec you want.

so if i get the cam from my friend...and tell the guy at colt cams to grind it according to the specs of a lxi, it would work???

I wouldnt just get a l-xi factory spec grind,get something streetable but not too radical.

well thats the idea...get the dx cam and get it regrinded by colt cams as if they were gonna regrind the lxi cam
