Question Radix & Cam (What do you Think)

Well, I thought I had my mind up set on the cam to use with the Radix. It was originally going to be the Lingenfelter GT2-3, but have now decided (with the help of Allen) what would be a better cam choice.
He helped me make a lot of my decisions. Great guy.
So are all of you.
Well, lets here what you think.
Comp 220/570/570/115 or 117 . I myself really won't know for sure. He said he will send me what he thinks will work great for my mods and for how my truck is going to be used. The lift posted may or may not be exact, but will be close. The 220 duration will be the most I will know that it is. He said I will be happy with it.
The 3.0 pulley will be used with the set-up from the beginning. He will be sending me out a PCM tuned to get me to his shop for the fine tuning on the Dyno.
What do you guys think?

Jim

Quit spending all your time on here and start installing your parts pile, you are almost as bad as Moregrip

HA!...... and you are one to talk. You better get to buildng on that 418! NO MORE EXCUSES to why you may show up on a bike or a different vehicle this year!
I would start installing, but I haven't got all my parts! You want to give me a few more thousand dollars to help out???
I still need the Snow Performance kit, 2600 PI stall, shift kit, servos, oil pump, and gauges. You do the math!

The cam I have is comparable to what you are looking at, and I have been happy with it. Mine is 216/224-551/551-115, with my 1.8 rockers gives me about 583 lift. They are accelerated lift rockers too, so the guy at Vinci told me to add about 6* to both intake and exhaust to get a good comparable number, but I dunno how accurate that it.

I don't really care for the lope. Would be nice, but I'll stick with driveability and a smooth idle. If the 115 lsa gives it better performance and better driveability, then I'll stick with that.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
How is your truck coming along? Anything new for this year?
