sorry man, i wasnt trying to insinuate you as being a retard.

i just have looked at a thousand cam specs from every dealer around here and have never seen an off the shelf 212/218 grind in anything under .5xx lift... and i had that same cam (.522/.529 ) in my 4.8.

could you link me to it, or is it a custom grind cam?

Well... I found why it has low lift. Thunder Racing sent me the wrong flipping camshaft. I asked for a cam for the 01 Silverado with a 4.8 and this is what they sent me. Looks like I wont be throwing my cam in anytime soon with this mishap.

I asked for a cam that would be good for towing but also give me a good power gain. I also asked for a 112LSA because I wanted that nasty sound. They said that cam was the one I was looking for basically. It is a simple mistake I am not mad at Thunder Racing for this mix up. Oh well **** happens!!!
