Default Good cam?

So im ditching the LS9 cam swap and going to go with something that better suits my needs.... looking at the Vinci Torker cam, i want that low end TQ that i need offroad and for getting out of the hole against raptors. The specs are as follows
DUR @ .004" 272*/284*
DUR @ .050" 212* / 224*
LIFT .551 /.551
LSA 114*

Anybody know if my LS3 springs will hold up or should i go with something else?

With my new 4.56 gears getting installed next week and with this cam i think ill have a nice all around rig.

So is it a good choice? Anybody use Vinci?

The vinci cam will probably be great for low end tq. Its hard to know when all he shares is the LSA.

So emailed Roger, for dual valve spring kit and cam came out to 739.00 thinking i may jump on that...Just dont want to have to pull this cam out because im not happy. Want to bump the redline to 6100-6200 and have good power through out the rpms with that low end grunt down low. just want to make sure im making a good buy.

If you can get detail as far as how much advance is in it that would help a lot. Me personally, I would bump it to the trucker. 216/228

I had his 216/224 trucker in a LQ9 silvy SS and it was a really broad power curve.

Anybody port and polish their heads? Thinking when I pull the heads I may get them ported and polished since I'm not paying labor for the install of the cam etc
