Default What cam??

I want a faster 0-60. What will each of these cams do, performance wise (power area--upper, mid or lower rpm, hp and tq increase, etc.)? Also, how will the idle be (Smooth, rough, etc.) and will anything else be required for install?

212/218 .522/.529 114

216/220 .525/.532 114

I have a 4.8L Silverado Z71 with a UPD, Borla exhaust, TBS, and a HPPIII. ASM headers shortly.

Faster 0-60 means torque. You have a 4.8 - Torque and 4.8 don't go hand in hand.

But- of those two cams, the 212/218 .522/.529 114 is the lesser of two evils. IMO- you should go with the smaller comp cam - its on a 112 LSA and should help more down low.
