Default Anyone have any experience with Comp 206/212 cam??

Looking for a mild cam for my truck... looking at Comp part number 54-408-11 (206/212, .515/.522, 112) w/ some 1.8 or 1.85 rockers. Does anyone have any experience with this cam?? Also considering (though not as seriously) the one that's just one step up from that (212/218, .522/.529, 114).

I'm not looking to set any speed records... just looking for something that'll make some more torque and open up the top end a bit.

Thanks for any input.

Save some money, and either order a custom grind with higher lift lobes (so you won't hve to buy rockers), or just go with the comp 212/218 .558 .563 115 cam. If you go custom and want super torque, try out a custom grind 208/212 .554 .558 114 cam. I dont think there is a price difference between the off the shelf cams and the custom grinds.

I would stick with the 212/218, maybe a 216/220 cam. I wouldn't go for the rockers ... they are just to expensive.

Hey, thanks for the input, folks.... there are a few warranty issues that I need to get worked out before I go to modding the truck (rough idle, transmission acts goofy from time to time, rear end occasionally clunks), but I am doing all my research now so when I get all of that taken care of I can grab a wrench and get after it!!
