I am using that cam with pretty good success. I have ran 10.90 with a little tc76 in my 4wd-5000lb truck. Does this turbo build boost as fast as the other? Same boost level? Getting any knock retard that is pulling timing? Same AFR as before? I can't imagine that you'd lose any power whatsoever going from an ls6 to the 218.

Well, after further and closer review it turns out the cam doesn't seem to be the problem. It looks like the extra HP exposed another problem that didn't know I had. I had been focusing on my tune so closely that I never paid attention to my shift points. I took the car to the track Friday night and noticed that my car was barely dropping 300 RPM between gears!! It use to drop like 1200 RPM. In other words either my tranny is slipping really badly or my converter is. After I get this new issue sorted out I will be sure to update the thread to remind idiots like me to pay attention to EVERYTHING!!
