the 212 218 highlift or lowlift is a great cam for someone wanting to go mild!!

What you could DD a cam like this...and it they both have a "sick" idle...

Something in the 24x 24x, 6xx 6xx 109+2 range should be good.

.. Not gonna damage anything.. dude.. it just means that if you dont add a stall 2 ur performance CAM, ur truck is gonna feel real lazzy off the line.. and your truck is gonna start pulling 3k RPMS +...

get atleast a Tb stall, those run cheap, and have been proven to make a difference over stock stall...

the 212/218 cam it a great DD cam, with a lift - that meets ur needs/

if you go anything above 22X cam, u gonna need a 3K stall atleast to get it moving off the line...

but it all depends , how much ur looking to spend..+ were u want ur powerband at*

I have had my 224/224-.588/.588 in my truck for around 50,000 plus miles. Hasn't hurt anything but my fuel milage and low end torque. I average 14.5 in stop and go traffic and between 19 and 20 on the highway. But damn do I need a set a heads and a stall.
