    That is real easy then 212/218 low lift LSA 115 however the idle will be more based on the tune than anything.
    However, I would keep the truck intake as with the LS6/z06 intake you will gain up top but lose bottomend.

    Idk the exact specs, but I will look for them. When ordering it just says low lift. I would guess in the .52x/.52x range.

    Anything bigger than a 212ish cam and you start to move the power band up. Whats the purpose of putting the cam in? Stock replacement, or wanting more? You need the long runners of the truck intake to keep the torque down where you actually drive in the powerband. Gaining a few HP at 3500+ is not worth losing torque at 2000 rpm.

    The 212 218 .522 .529 114 is a real nice cam , I just put one in a 6 liter and it runs real good. Torquey cam.the tr220 is another proven cam.you can always get a custom cam through Nelson , with all your specs and a cam that will suit your needs.

    are the specs on the TR220 with a 1.5 rocker ratio?
