Hey guys, I have done a lot of searching and it seems like the comp 212/218 might be a good cam for me. I want an all around cam, I want my truck to maintain it's ability to haul loads as well as it haul ***! The other thing I want is a bit of a lopey idle. I don't need anything crazy but I am a sucker for a rough idle. How does the Comp 212/218 idle? If you guys have any other recommendation I would love to hear them. Thanks a lot and sorry to put up another cam thread.

Oh ya I have a ecsb 4x4, 5.3 with Lt's, 3" exhaust and a Circle d 3000 stall.
Thanks again guys.

 

If I was to do it again I would probably go with a tsp220 or similar. My idle is pretty smooth.

 

Our HT1 has a very aggressive lope at idle. Similar specs to the comp but the 111 LSA on ours gives it the nice lope and great top end. I would recommend at least 3.90 gears, and a a small converter would be very helpful too. It tends to make a big truck kind of weak in the lower rpms. I still daily drive mine and pull my car hauler with it. 13ish MPG in town. 20-22 HWY.

 

great, thanks for the input. That cam sounds good! One question, why does it say it has a smooth idle on your website? haha

 

Tuning and exhaust will also have pretty good effect on how the camshaft sounds as well.

 

Hahahaha. Just saw that. Ya, that will need to be edited.

 

i have a lunati voodoo series 212/218 and i love it. it pulls strong around 1,000 rpms (when u can actually start to feel it pulling) and its perfect for a DD setup imo. exhaust is lopey and u know the engine isnt stock, but its nothing extreme. ive also pulled a car hauler with an rcsb f150 on it and it had alot more *** than a stock truck for sure

 

Great, Thanks man. I will have to look into that lunati cam.
