Default Any one with a 212/218 .558 cam.

I have a 99 Chevy 5.3 I have been thinking about getting a custom Grind cam from nelson performance. The specs are 212/218 .558 LIFT.

If you have a similar cam let me know how you like it.
Thanks

I have it in my 6.0 now and love it. Great low end and helps up top too, defenitely helped down low (kinda biased as I went from 4.8 to the 6.0 with the cam).

What did you get the truck to run with the 212/218 vs the 220 cam?
