    Help decide between these three cams

    This is for a daily driver 4.8. Right now Im going to use a Trailblazer torque converter, but plan to step up to a 3000-3200 Circle-D in the new future.

    I was planning on using a set of Comp 918 springs I had, so I was set on the .581 lift, but got to doing some research and wondering if I may be just as good going with the lower lift and some LS6 springs.

    Also help me decide on my LSA

    Cam 1. 220/220 .581/.581 Comp XER lobes
    Cam 2. 220/220 .564/.564 Comp XE lobes
    Cam 3. TR220 220/220 .551/.551

    I thought I wanted a 112 LSA + 4, but now Im thinking I may want a 110 +2 or +4

    Help me decide.

    You may need longer pushrods with the 0.581" lift, but for the extra cylinder filling, that's what I'd do.

    They are essentially the same cam and I doubt there is a great difference between any of them. They will all use the same pushrods also.
