I like it. It has good low end torque on a stock converter and pulls hard all the way to my shift point at 6000 rpm. It would probably pull well beyond that.
I want something a little bigger beacause I am getting a higher stall converter and I would like a little more lope.

D reks(5.3) stated, "what do you guys think i should run out of these 3 cams..i dont want something thats gonna hurt me if i dont put a converter in..or something that doesnt completely ruin my mpgs even worse"

I recommend the 216/220-.525/.532. Its the one I am thinking of changing to.

My cam has similar specs to the first one listed...it's a great daily driver and a definite improvement over stock, but nothing crazy be any means. Works great with the stock stall. I'm happy with it, but if I went bigger I'd get a higher stalled converter, but that's just me.
