Default Trick Flow camshafts?

Has anyone here used trickflow camshafts yet? These are a bargain compared to other existing cams out there at only $269.99 a piece. Quality I'm told I shouldn't worry about since they are Lunati blanks which are ground by Lunati as well. I am building a 6.0 that will be completely stock for a rcsb 2wd truck. I am wanting to do cam and headers only. The 2 trickflow cams I was looking at are:

Has anyone used either of these camshafts, if so did you like them? Otherwise how do you think these would perform? I can't see where spending another $130 on a comp or thunder racing cam would be beneficial. If anyone has used either of these, do you have soundclips?

Thanks

I was also looking at these cams but one thing i would look at is they recommend 10.5-1 compression. You would definetly want a stall with the bigger of the two seeing the rpm range, lunati does have a good rep so for the money it should be worth it.

I was looking more at the @ .050 numbers more than anything. That's gotta be a mistake, not even the highest comp solid roller cams have an advertised duration that high. Although I did copy and paste the information directly from trick flow's website. A phone call will be in order to TEA in the morning as I will more than likely be buying from them. Here is a super write-up I found over on tech about the trickflow cams. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...t=#post5446951 Those power curves look absolutely astonishing. On stock heads, a guy should be able to mimick those power curves, they just won't be as "intense".

those curves do look good, 220 cam looks like it would work out nicely, maybe even advance it a few degrees. That kinda power seems like its high for the mods but curves nicely.
