Ill cut you any cam you want (380) and install it for free!!!
TRT I like the 228 cams on a 114LSA myself. BUT, you do need at least a 2800 stall.
SOON TO COME!!!!

I'm not saying it just because I'm selling one, but a lot of guys like the 216/220 since the power band starts basically from idle and climbs on up.
As far as why you would want an "out of the box" cam - the reason is that they (Comp, Thunder Racing, Lingenfelter, Lunati...) put a ridiculous amount of research and development into the cams to determine what will work best with a given vehicle. That's why you'll find guys that swear by a certain cam. Some swear by the 216/220, others by the 220/220 or 224/224.
A lot of those guys have been through a number of cams and like a certain one for their own reasons - where th powerband is, where the torque is, how it idles, how it lopes, gas mileage, tease of tuning, etc.
Go with something smaller than a 220/220 in a truck.
