ok looking for a cam for my truck. truck will be a street truck with some (lil) track. its getting long tubes and roller rockers at the same time with new cold air. im looking at a comp XR265HR with 522/529. on a 114 lobe. that will put the revs around 1200-6000( or so comp says) will this cam work ok? or should i go for the high lift ver at 558/565? i know everybody says stay under 220/220 and 550 lift so thats why i have this cam in mind. any input will be outstand. or other cam ideas also.

 

aslo the truck is a stick with 3.73 gears on 31.4 tall tires. but should be getting a t56 with 4.88s this summer. i dont drive over 65 now. well when me and my right foot get along i dont

 

the tsp220 and tr220 is a great cam for 4.8's and i'd go for a 112lsa if your wanting to stay n/a

 

thanks. yes i would say i will stay n/a. the truck might see a small (75-100) shot at some point .

 

i would run the 212/218 lowlift
no need for the roller rockers save the cash
the cam pulls to 6300 in my 5.3

theres a fti 214/220 for sale that was a really good cam in a 4.8

 

I swapped in a Scoggin Dickey HT1 this weekend...still needs tuning so I can't totally vouch for its overall performance yet, but hopefully I can get that done tonight. Here are the specs: 214/218 .559/.562 111lsa 109icl
Its a comp custom grind for Scoggin Dickey.

 

thanks very much for the feed back guys

 

im no expert at all, but that sounds like a good 4.8 cam. who spec'd it for u? how is it running without tuning so far?

 

why the lowlift over the high lift? is the high lift just too much for the little 4.8? i kinda thought the extra lift would be more hp...

 

the low lift has been proven to work better
Theres about 5 hp diff between hi and low lift

I run the low lift and it has shown great results in my setup
