I put a cam similar to a 206/212 - .515/.522 in Sheephead's 05 ecsb 4x4 6.0L w 3.42's and he loved it! For some reason we swapped it out for a 212/218 - .522/.529 and he can't wait to take it out.
The bottom end tq and gas mileage was way better with the small cam. It towed like mad even with the highway gears. The 212/218 only tows good over 80mph.
They only other mod he has is a crapmaster cat back.

i dought i could handle any more gear, i already cruse at 2300-2400 at 70- 72, remember it has a 4l80e. Cam someone explain why the smaller cam makes sooo much more torque, i don't think it is just in the less duration, is it an overlap thing?

I cant say on the Vinci cam but I had a 212 218 highlift in my 06 crewcab with the 5.3
All it had was the 212/218 cam,Wheatley tuned with 3.73 gears intake and exhaust,it still had the stock tq converter
I was shocked when it ran a 14.23 in the 1/4 with a 2.13 60ft.
I was not expecting that with those little mods
So I can say that cam does do well
