Default tr220 and tsp220

Anyone seeing any differences in the texas speed 220 and the thunder racing 220 cams?? so close in lift .551 and .581 both on a 112 lsa. Thinking about going with one but what do you guys think about these 2? Or maybe something in the 212/218 range better for me being a big heavy beast. No major towing will occur FYI.

not much of a difference, if i would do either one, it would be the TR220 cause you can use the LS6 springs, which will do for a quieter valvetrain...

I used to have the 212/218 on my z71 ecsb, it worked great!! but mine was on a 114lsa, and the downside of it was no lope, but thats just me cause i like to hear some lope, other than that it was a great cam for big truck, if i would do it again i would custom spec it with a 112lsa..

the tsp will make slightly more power and a smoother idle. The downside is more valvetrain wear.

more power and more valvetrain wear due to the XE-R lobes?? what makes it idle smoother?

more aggressive lobes - smoother idle

the bottom line is go whichever one you can get cheaper.
