    "TR 220-112" - 220/220 .551/.551 112 LSA 1500-6500 RPM Power Band. Computer Tuning Required with automatic transmission cars. A very well balanced camshaft that makes excellent power across the entire RPM range. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended

    My old cam was a 226/236 .525/.525 110lsa and I shifted at 6500rpms. Made 317whp 300wtq with a nitrous tune. I miss it a lot. low lift cam and springs = more engine miles without changing valvesprings.

    has more to do with valve events then just lift. Lift is a bi-product

    I will attest--that cam does work nice with a 4.8L with a 3000 stall.

    ok. What I meant was if you have 2 cams.
    1= 226/336 .625/.625 110lsa
    2= 226/236 .525/.525 110lsa
    The second cam is going to be easier on the valvetrain.
    Anyways, figure out what sound you want, and what goals you have. IMO the ASA cam was a nice cam. cost effective horsepower. And could run just as long as a stock setup. If you going to DD it, I would suggest a lazy lobe, and lower lift. If its a track truck, and your not going to put 12kplus miles on it, go more aggresive.
