Default Comp Cam for 5.3L V8

Planning on a cam swap from a stock 5.3L. I know a guy that has a recommended Comp's 216/220 .525/.532 114* cam as a stout street/strip cam.

Any opinions?

that's a pretty good cam. it will give you good performance without sacrificing drivability. should be good with a trailblazer stall. i was planning to go with that cam until i hear about the tr220.

Good cam in my opinion, that's a good size for all-around performance.

i think if you are getting the 216/220, might as well step up one more and get the tr220, lift is alot higher too!!! just my .02
