Default 210/218 vs 216/220

guys, would it be worth swapping a 210/218 .535 114 cam out for a 216/220 .525 114 cam?

would idle be much different?

Or would would a 218/222 or plain 220/220 be a better tep up choice?

I have a yankTT3000 going in shortly for the cam

i didnt know if the 216/220 would be worth taking the time to swap in their?

I had that cam, 216/220. I swapped to a 220/224 on a 115lsa. Mine idles with a very faint lope, but it is alot different. The 115 lsa does idle alot better even with more duration. It will lope more, I think you will see a difference from the 210/218.

I dont think its worth going from a 212/218 to a 216/220..... I also thought about it... now I'll be going to the 220/220..... and with your 3000 converter that cam will work real good...

your's idled damn good im just wondering if its worth enough to do it over the 210/218 in the truck now. How's your truck doing btw?

only thing about the comp 216/220 is its low lift, i wish it had like .550 or something atleast
