Those EPS cams have been putting down some ridiculously good numbers. Their have now been at least a few fbody guys who have put down 400+ on the dyno with that 222/226.

My 227/235 cam is a blast to drive. No idea what my dcr is but my static is around 9.5-9.6:1. managed a 4.5 sec 0-60. Of coarse Im sure the 3700 stall helped out some.

I have used Comps 219/227 .607/.614 cam in a ton of 6.0Ls, I even did a variation of it in my truck, it works great.

Heck Ive seen it make 46hp in a 5.3L even. #54-456-11 (IIRC)

Those look like the LSL lobes I'd be willing to bet.

Just looked into it Klug and it is a lsl. I'll give EPS a call tomorrow and see what they say also.

Good idea! Geoff would get you fixed up with something that would make you some good power and meet your goals whatever they may be.

GMCtrk is running that cam in his LQ9 and seems to be pretty happy with it. As Klug said, the EPS cams have been showing some great numbers for sure. EPS, Comp XER, and LSL have definitely all proven themselves. Lately been seeing some Isky and Lunati grinds that guys appear to be doing well with.

If funds allowed for myself, another cam at the top of my list is the Crane/Vinci Stangbanger, coupled with Crane's Gold adjustable 1.8 rocker arms. The Stangbanger is 220/224 .551/.551 114 (not sure about the ICL/advance ground in), and the lift would end up at .583/.583 with the 1.8 rockers. I've heard excellent reviews of the Crane/Vinci grinds, and was always impressed with tdrumm's Asp-Kicker in his old 5.3 (210/218 .551/.551 112). That truck ran great (I had the pleasure of driving it many times), and the cam worked perfectly with his 4.10 gears and Yank TT3000.
