Default Good cam choice?

Hey guys I have a 06 sierra CC Z71 5.3. I have come across a pretty good deal on a comp cam specs are. 210/218 at .050 .596/.591 110LSA with 2 degrees advance. My plans for the truck are headers cam and tune at the moment. I do use my truck to pull my quad rarely will I pull over 4000 pounds. I want to keep my stock stall until I have a reason to take the transmission out. So for a DD with light towing would this be a suitable cam with noticable gains.

That sounds like a nice cam for what your are wanting to do with the truck..should have real good bottom end torque..a higher stall converter will give you the full use of the cam though..

I won't go that radical lobe spacing for a daily driver myself.

Yea with a 110 LSA it will still have decent chop even with such small duration. It's inly -6* of overlap. It will make the chop felt through the stock converter unfortunately.

It'll make a real strong mid range and probably sign off 'early' but I'd expect it to pull 6k no problem.

Vinci cams and my cam is a .551/.551 lift, but I have 1.8 roller rockers for the .584/.584 lift.

Check out the thread "Got the cam in a tuned last night. Videos" in the internal engine section. I have all my mods listed with some WOT and dd videos.
