no one that I know of. It seems kinda blah in terms of design. you'll definitely see a gain from it, but how much is anyones guess.

I agree.. Thats a huge lift for such a small duration.

Do ya'll think that maybe a 220/220 581/581 112 would be better???

whats the desired effect? What do you use the truck for normally? Give us a little background so we are not just spitting out random numbers.

My bad, I knew better! lol Ok, It's a 2000 RCSB 2wd with a 5.3/T56 that I'm building. I'm gonna have the 862's P&P and milled .30. Stock intake from 04 tahoe, E-fans, CAI. It will be a DD, but I want to have a good strong setup. I will proly be goin with 4.30:1 or 4.56:1 gears. I will take it to the track way more than I will use it to haul. Want decent torque, not too worried about spinning the motor past 6500. Also what springs, lifters, pushrods, etc do you guys recommend.

Honestly for an all around good cam like your talkin about, Id get either a TR220 112 or the TSP 220 you listed above.. Either cam will be much better for your needs than the first you listed.. RPM range on the TR220 is 1500-6500. so pretty good range..

As for parts you need, Just get some PAC 1218 springs from SDPC and some 7.4 hardened pushrods no need to change the lifters..

milling the heads by .030 will result in a shorter PR, but other than that, I agree.

OP, you indicated that the cam which you were inquiring about was on a 112 CL. Do you mean a 112 LSA? If so, I'm not sure that I necessarily agree with D reks and 03Blackout. I'm not saying that the Thunder and TSP 220 cams will not work will for the OP. Both are proven performers with the 5.3 and should meet his stated goals. However, the cam he is asking about is a mere 2 degrees less in intake and exhaust duration and has the same LSA (using the assumption stated above). The higher lift should make it "act" a little bigger than the stated duration. As such, I don't see it being significantly different from the TSP/TR 220 cams. If I am missing something, someone please explain.
