I have the 212/218 low lift version 114 lsa from comp cams.
this thing makes great torque @1500rpm which is 55 mph for my truck and can pull hills with ease and no downshifting.
but it does make noticeably more torque @2000 rpm (75mph)very good throttle response and passing power
I think it would just depend what speed you travels at most

I've got the 212/218 also, have yet to install it and its been on a shelf in my closet for a year now! I got a circle d 3200 and 4.10 with a locker to go with it.
Glad to read you like the cam!!! It's inspired me to get off my *** and put it in. Now is a perfect time also since I'm 100 miles into breaking in my rear end!

I ran an 01 ls6 cam in my old 5.3 RCSB w/ tb verter, lt's and 4.10's. It wasnt a dyno queen by any means made 288/292 on 87. BUTTTTT it got well over 20 mpg on trips and went a best of 9.02 1/8 and 14.0@97.5 bouncing off the limiter on the 1-2 shift due to a tad shorter tyre and no laptop at the track DOH!!!
I loved it had all the low-end I wanted for towing and hills. I was really imprressed with the mpg. I just cant make up my mind on what i want to put in my 4.8 now.

It ripped for sure. That was with 2.10-2.00 60 foot times also. I wish i knew as much about tuning then as I do now lol.
The 01 cam is a tad smaller the the 02+ and on a narrower lsa. I lean towards smaller cams and drivability in trucks for sure. But thats just me.
