Default Turbo 5.3 help

I have a TR220 in my truck right now (220/220 .551 112+4). I was thinkin about putting the stock cam back in because I think it will make more power (190/191 .466 .457 114). But a friend of mine has a LQ4 cam (207/196 .479 .467 116). Do you think this cam would be much better than the stock one? Im gonna be swapping them soon so let me know.


Thanks

Do you really think either of those will make more power than the 220 cam? I don't see that happening, but could be wrong. Regardless, put a Z06 cam in at the least if you must ditch the 220. Lookin to sell it?

keep the 220 if the two other cams are your only options

I kinda want more of a sleeper. and the stock cams have waaay less overlap which will be alot better for the turbo right? And Im tired of not having any bottom end.

I just think now that I have a front mount setup I have too much exhaust pressure and the cams overlap is causeing exhaust to be pushed back into the chamber contaminating my air fuel mixture.
