Tough choice, they're both good cams. Zippy has the first one and is pretty happy with it, I think he's running 14's on factory 20" wheels. Pretty sure that the second cam is the same one that bluecajun has taken his rcsb into the 12's with...I dunno, if I was you, I'd be torn too lol

LOL, I don't know why I laughed. I don't think your meant to but your post came off kind of sarcastic.

Basically run 14s with the first cam or run 12s with the second cam. I think I know what you meant though.

go a little bigger than you think you want, you will eventually want to go bigger and that may help you out for a while

I agree. I thought I wanted a 220/220 back in the day. I ended up buying a 224/224 comp cam. I am more than happy with it although without a converter it was pretty damn depressing.

What converter do you plan on running?

Nobody ever mentions that in cam threads. Converters and cam combos make or break the truck IMO.

Diameter, stall speed, brand, etc.
