i wanted that cam, but i think its a lil to big for my truck... ive just read where some had idle issues with it. I start my truck to many times a day and make to many quick trips to have to worry bout idle..

if i wanted a good cam for a so/so daily i would be all over your cam

u havent sold that thing yet?

I have ridden in Cammin03's truck many times and the topend gained from that cam is awesome. The idle is easily cured w/a little tuning. Throw a TB or small converter in your truck and you will really be running. We cruise around in Cammin03s truck everyday when he comes back in town.

It gave him at least 3 tenths and 3 mph in the 1/4 too! With a converter it would be even better.

I found a comparable cam from Cam Motion, but with more lift than the Comp 206/212 (see my sig). It idles fine, but if you know what to listen for, you can hear that there is a cam in there. I have no issues with power lag, there is plenty of power right off idle (650 rpm) all the way up to 6,000 rpm. I still have the stock converter.

i was wondering how that cam would do around .545-.550 lift.. seems you could make a lil more power with the high lift while keeping the size small so it still idles great.

might have to check out that cam also..thanks for the info
