Default which cam?

i was going to do a cam this summer and cant afford to do a converter so i want to do one that doesnt require a converter. i was looking at Vinci's 080 torque cam and the Vinci 043 street and performance cam. which one should i do? is there any other cams that would work better?

I am happy with my Comp so far. Although, with the 5.3 having a little less umph and the half-ton torque converter being tighter, I don't know how it would be. What are the specs on these Vinci cams? just curious.

I had good results with the Vinci 080 cam, and they are great to work with. Give them a call - they are happy to talk with customers about applications.

Full_Pull - the 080 is 210/218-551/551-116

the vinci guys i hear are great to work with, if they recommend that then its a pretty good deal, alot of people pick a 210/216 comp cam i think those are the specs but not positive
