Sounds about right, I noticed a loss in low end below 2500 rpms or so with the mid 222/226 versus the stock 196/207; however, the truck still pulls any hill on the highway effortlessly in OD, so no big deal. Everything's a compromise....I gained about 1100 rpm of powerband up top, so it's a pretty good tradeoff.

i have been looking at the vinci ultra torque as an alternative (080)

im just curious would this cam with the tune fully dialed in idle like stock? i want the powerband this cam has, but without any lope at all, i have been thinking about it for a long while but i want it to be truly undetectable...

It also depends on what engine you have in your truck.

thanks for the feedback guys, i dont really have plans on going fi. i just want a great all around dd cam with a smooth idle something with good torque because i tow with it. the 080 sounded like it was the way to go but i want to be sure it had a smooth/undetectable idle because im in cali and am going to have to smog it and i really want no issues whatsoever. if anyone has an idle clip of a 5.3 with the vinci 080 (non fi) i would love to hear it.

What about a LS6 Cam? A little bit of loss on bottom end, but the gains mid range and up would be sizeable over stock. With the 117 LSA it will even idle like stock right?
