It is big for sure, but not out of the ???. My ?? is if you are on stock heads, they are going to be struggling to flow what that cam will be able to.. So our only going to gain as much as the heads will allow.. What verter you plan to run.. I would find a came that will work better with your stock heads vs on just getting one cuz it is big.. Unless you plan to do heads down the road..

That's a big *** cam for a 5.3, even with great heads and high compression IMO

What's wrong with your TR220? Which LSA is it and how big of a stall are you running?
