This is a good cam, can run with no tune if you choose. When tuned the cam sound can only be picked up by gear heads. http://m.summitracing.com/parts/tfs-30602001

In my 4.8 i had a FTI 214/220 108+4. That was a damn nice cam for the 4.8. Had really good low end and pulled up to 6700. That cam would definitely talk to you for how small it was.

I have also had a 220/220 114+4 and 222/224 112+4
you ran that cam(FTI 214/220) with the 3200 stall?? Wouldnt happen to have videos of it would you.

I have a 2000 5.3L with a vinic 210/218 .551/.551 116 Lsa, that I just installed about 3 months ago. This cam is probably the best around town stop light to stop light, 0-60,70ish on a stock set up. This cam is like the comp 212/218 but tweaked for more low end tq

I made 274rwhp & 338rwtq with my stock cam on heavy 83lbs wheels. I had all boltons for these numbers. LT,CAI,UDP,e-fans......custom dyno tune.

I have not dyno tuned the cam yet, but I can tell a huge diffrences in power from 1000-3000rpm. Up top it runs like the Ls6 cam not these 220+. The best part is an average of 2mpg better. I currently am getting 18-19 city 23-24 highway. 3.42 gear stock stall

My (.02 cents) huge low end tq difference and mpgs. Perfect TRUE daily driver cam.

I'm pretty sure where I want the duration and lift, the LSA and ICL are the biggest variables for me right now. I am leaning towards a 110 or 109 LSA...
