Default 07 Nbs Rc 5.3 Cam Opinions Needed

I fixing to get a cam installed. Just want to get some opinions.

I don't want to get a stall right now, don't want to kill my gas mileage. I want power from idle to 6000 RPM.

I was thinking of 212/218 .558/.558 on a 110 or 112 lsa. I already have LT, ORY, CAI, TUNE (87 octane). I will be getting it retuned for everything and 91 octane.

Will this truck be a pig without a stall? I'm not trying to be the fastest, I just want more power and some sick lope. I'd be happy with a 13 second truck. This is my daily driver as well.

TR224-112 with a Yank 3000 stall would be just about right for what you want

that is a great cam..... either the 112 or 110 lsa will work great......
if it ran good on charlie's crewcab, there is no reason it should be better on a RC, some 13's for sure...

you are really going to like that cam...

ok. I have the money to get a cam and stall of my choice installed right now. Remeber this is my daily driver. 2800 or 3000 stall? If I stall I can probably go bigger on the cam, right? Say 220/220 .560/.560 112 LSA or 224/224 .588/.588 112LSA (FUTRAL F2 cam). Or do you think these cams are to bigg for a friendly daily driver.

which will effect my gas mileage more the stall or the cam?

I just want to keep this truck friendly to drive.

OK. I've made up my mind, lol. I talked to FMS. I going 220/220 on a 112 LSA
with a Yank 3000 and dyno tune. Should be a rocket

Thanks for you opinions fellers.
