Default Comp 212/218 or 216/220?

Sorry for another cam thread, I just haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Give some advice please. I can't decide between the two. Truck is Ex. Cab 4x4 with 4.8 5-speed. I would like to keep as much low end as possible (truck is d.d.). Will be used with 125-150 shot of nitrous also. Anyone have any of these combo's?

the 212 will have more low end but the 216 will make better power mid range I would go with the 216 since your gonna be spraying I would also look into a more nitrous friendly cam though, in a 4.8 that 216 will probably need a higher stall

Could you point me towards a more nitrous friendly cam? BTW it's a 5-Speed Trans.

Dont think the stall will matter much with the 5 spd. , I'd go with the 216/220. I got a mild cam, and after about two months its too mild

i had the 216-220. it is a more high rpm cam if you ask me. the 212-218 would be the best choice for you since you want the torque for the 4X4.

Anyone want to recommend a better cam for nitrous use. Also, I have 4.10 gears if that matters.
