Default Cam opinions

I have a 218 216 115lsa .527" .524" with 5 degrees of advance that I would like to put in a 4.8L 2wd RCSB. Truck has bolt ons but stock converter. I plan to change converters when the tranny gives up, don't know when that will happen. What do you guys think?

That is one strange cam.

weird cam but it should work in there... if the LSA were tighter you'd be a little better off.

With a tighter lsa would I make more torque lower in the RPM band? I like the wider lsa's lack of lope. The cam was originally spec'd for a turbo car, that's why it has the reverse split and wide lsa.

Will help crutch the truck intake, it will have a broad power band, not quite so much power right out of the hole as say a 110lsa would, small lift is kind of odd too.
