Default Thoughts on this cam?

218/222 .581/.581 115+4

This is for a EC 5.3 3.73. Any thoughts on this?

Too big, need something with more low-end IMO. I love my crane cam, good all-around power, especially mid-range torque and top-end. I think the Vinci 210/218-112 would be awesome.

If you plan on getting a 3000 or higher stall, and living in the 3000-6000 RPM range all the time, it is ideal!

The stall will be a TT3000.

that cam isnt too big, its almost like a mti stealth, but has split duration, thats a good truck cam, it will produce alot of torque, but i dont think you need .581 of lift on stock heads, they dont flow the best. i like the specs on that cam

The cam will be on Thunder lobes, I assume. Faster than XE, but slightly slower than XE-R.

You said thats a custom cam right?
Do you know the sorta questions they asked to perfect the specs to his mods?

It will be a custom ground cam, not a cam set up for his configuration by Thunder.

The specs were thought up by me for what he wants.
