me and several friends have ran the 210-220 cam from krc. i think the grind number from comp is 604. krc calls it the 210. goin off memory it was a 210/220 duration @.050 .512 lift on a 112 LSA. has a good lope to it, runs strong on top end, makes power to 58k. i had a 95 dakota x-cab, 360, mildy ported stock head, the 210 cam, single plane intake with a 4 barrel Carb on it, Hooker LT's, Tci 2500 stall 4.10 gears, and would run 13.6 on motor. it's a good all around cam, if it's in a heavy truck he's gonna need some gear and converter though.

very good camshaft
had a 210/220 in my R/T
stock run 15.2@90
cam,stock tune, and a M1 intake manifold dynoed 250hp@tires ran 14.8
added long tubes and a B&G custom flash went 14.0 at 99
cam needs a small converter to get going,stock was sluggish on bottomend
good cam for a daily driver with a nice chop

210 is a good one. Get it from Comp if you can to save some money possible. Also the guys at comp are real helpful for suggestions also. I have the .480 lift cam they offer with a 2400 stall and 3.96 gears and its not a real great cam for a 5.9 except for torque. I would go for something around .500 lift myself.
