Default lookin for cam suggestions

Ok fellas I have been reading about cams till my head hurts and I still don't know much about them lol... But here's my setup its a 04 z71 slammed the one in my sig. But I have obx l/ts, yank tt3000 that's had some work done its prolly round 31-3200, cai, magnaflow muffler,and some ls1 fans. I'm looking for a cam that provides decent power increase everywhere. I'm not trying to build a drag truck but something that's fun to drive and good for street use and runs some decent times at the track... I seen a lot of good results with the tr220 112lsa. I also was looking at some lunati cams like a 221/221 but I can't find it on their website. I'm just looking for some suggestions so I can get on the right track for my search. I'm gunna do springs/u/d pulley/ and 7.4's. So let's here some suggestions


Thnx fellas,
Garrett

I think that the TR220 would work well with your setup...you could go with either the 112 or 114 and still feel an improvement everywhere. It should work well with the 3k verter you already have.

Indeed. I know it is always brought up to use this cam.. But it is a proven cam over and over.. No body has went out to go to a full custom spec and give results or had a side to side dyno with another cam in close comparion to this one... So it is a good cam that again is proven..

Yeah I've seen a lot of good results with it I was just wondering if anyone has tried a different cam with a tad different specs and got better results or what.. That's the cam everone says but I know ppl somewhere have to have similar cams

I think the ramp rates are gonna be a little too aggresive for the yellow springs, you may wanna be safe and run 918's.
