Not really. It's an F/I cam. Why are you set on that cam instead of something that really fits your needs?

Don't buy a cam because it's cheap, that's definitely going at it the wrong way. I would look into a standard N/A cam for your truck, since you won't be spraying any huge shots (300+) and it's a street truck.

And it all depends on what you want to do with your truck. Are you wanting to run an aftermarket stall, and if so what stall speed would you want. Also, what rear end gears do you have? Is your truck an extended cab or regular cab? What is your budget for the cam swap and everything else you need to go with it.

its a 2004 singlecab stepside 4.8 ..mods are tune by file no cats dynatech longtube headers bbk cai e-fans corvette servo and spacer my best without the headers was 15.0 in some really hot muggy weather ..got the headers installed just waiting to get my pulley and then gettin a wideband retune..and some 3.73 also as far as stall goes dont want to sacrifice driveability, so the highest i would go on a stall is 3k..i have a 5.3 in the garage thats goin in by december so a cam that will also work well with the 5.3

I think you'd like a TR220 112lsa. A lot of people run that cam with killer results.
