Cam question...again!

[Hivelocit]

Okay so I called Thunder Racing for a little information on their cams, but also to inquire about the TR220 and its relation to me installing it into my 5.3. Any ways the guy practically was jumping out of his seat about the Cheater v.3 telling me he believes I would be much happier with the results of this cam, and how it dyno'd great numbers on a 5.3 1500! Since I couldn't find too awful much about it I thought I would ask the board and see what everyone here thinks about the specs of the Cheater v.3:

Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
" CheaTR v.3" - 219/230 .607/.604 117 LSA. Off Idle-6800 RPM Power Band.

I am absolutely no cam wizard and I have seen threads at least all day on the TR220 or TR224 not to mention Youtube Vids galore! Should I go with his advice or stick with a sure thing?!
Don't forget its a stock 5.3l into an OBS swap, mods will include: Schoenfeld headers, 3in exhaust, Intake manifold (havent decided which one yet), Converter, and gearing will come once I get the rest outta the way! N/A for now unless NOS starts calling my name in the middle of the night! lol (hell just looking to make it fun)!

I think thats kinda similar to the Torquer V3. Plenty of duration but you dont lose alot of low end cuz of the overlap. Plent of lift also for more fuel and air. Id say go for it. Its very streetable and will give you lots more torque.

.....im not 100% sure but i think .600 lift is to high for a stock 5.3

Yeah I think ur right cuz I dont think the stock pistons came with valve relief.

[96/chevy/pu]

Wow thats Wide separation, but it yields a large power band as well, would like to see some #'s on HP & TQ this cam makes, weird specs.

[flattopwill]

Even if there is enough piston clearance you'll need some serious valve springs to handle over .600 lift. Like some PRC double springs or somethin.

[blackjack325]

(LSR cam)it is over .600 lift
but its what comp cams recommended. Im sure they did quite a bit of testing on it. On the cam description, it says for 4.8/5.3L small blocks
