Default Eps 222/226 cam

Anybody run a EPS 222/226 .598 113lsa cam or cam with similar specs?
From what i gather it is a tr224 style with more kick.
EPS has it listed as a ls1 cam.Many LS1 cars cam only made real good power with it.400+

Wondering if anyone has tried this in a truck?

that cam would be good if you threw some 243s on your truck and bumped the compression up a bit.. That lift is alittle high for stock 5.3 heads I think

ported heads, 10.6:1 comp

makes about 475-480 flywheel based on logging and I'm guessing around 360-370 rwhp thru 80e.

would be a nice cam on a 5.3, probably pull nice up to 6800.

The lift will be fine, It looks like a good choice for the 5.3

With the prc heads and this cam it would be a monster 5.3.. I have rode in a 5.3 with the same duration but alittle less lift and it pulled pretty well I think it would really run good with what your wanting
