Default cam for pulling a trailer?

Ok guys witch cam do you all think will be best for hauling a 22' enclosed car trailer prolly in the range of 5000-7000 lbs depending on the load?

I mean i still want it to be kinda fast w/o the trailer but thats not my ultimate goal.

Option #1
comp cam 206/216 .515/.525 112 lsa its currently in the truck, I've pulled the trailer a few times with it already. no problems.

or

Option #2
Comp Cam 212/218 .522/.529 114 lsa its sitting in the bedroom, ever since i started pulling the trailer I dont know if i want to swap them or not.

So let me have guys will it pull just as good with cam #2 or should i stick with what i have? or Get another one? I do have a Yank TT2600, & I dont wana go any bigger so what cam should i run?

I would stick with what you have in there....
but I do have a question for you... do you notice any issues of getting hot because of your e-fans and a 7K # trailer??? I really want efans, but i tow big boats and cars as well.
there are debates on here if efans and towing are safe...

You're honestly not going to see much difference between the 206º/212º and the 212º/218º in terms of towing...especially with the TT2600 converter. The differences between those two cams aren't enough to give you concern....I say swap the cams and enjoy the little bit of extra power you'll get from the 212º/218º...

no, I havent noticed any overheating issues. I also swapped the factory tranny cooler for a larger B&M unit.
