Cam question...again!

That is certainly a streetable cam and not too mild. In fact, IMO you are probably gonna wanna go bigger. Thats not much lift and it has a 5000rpm maximum range??! LS motors love rpm and if I was going to bother putting a cam in I would definitely get one that has a range more like 1200-6500rpm. It all depends on how modified you want to go but IMO If you are gonna get one this small I wouldnt even bother. Youd be better off with an LS6 cam.

Flattopwill, how well do you like the TR220 was it just what you were looking for or do you wish you went bigger? Also what springs/pushrods did you go with for that cam? Looking around on the internet it seems like quite the popular set-up!

I do like the cam very much! I have the 112 LSA and it gives it a mean hot rod sound that gets a lot of attention. There are minor power delivery differences between 112 and 114 LSA but mostly it comes down to the sound and what you want the truck to do. If you just want it to be quiet, smooth, with some more power then go with the 114. If you want that hot rod sound then go with 112. Personally, I love how my whole truck shakes just sitting still and how everyone wants to race lol. Everyone thinks I get bad mileage too which isnt true!
I have stock push rods with LS6 valve springs. I dont recommend this pushrod/spring combo with this cam just because it is stretching the limits of the valvetrain. I did it because I was on a serious budget and was willing to take the risk. If you keep an eye on the forum classifieds you can find some Comp 918 springs that will hold .600 lift for around $100 and some Comp 7.4 hardened push rods for ~$50.
