Default kickin around an idea, someone help plz

As some of u know I've got a Lunati 221/221 .558/.558 114LSA. I did a comparison the other night with the TR220. I gotta admit the TR220/220 .551/.551 112LSA looks pretty impressive, giving an 03 5.3 a jump from somethin like 268-340hp with **** like underdrives, headers, e fans and a tune, just the basic mods everyone starts with. And it has a huge RPM range which is what I originally wanted. So whats everyone think, would it be worth it to try and hock my Lunati and spring for the TR? or do u think Ill be just fine with my Lunati and less power range but atleast the same power? Thanks

keep it, install it, see how you like it. if you decide later down the road you would rather own a tr220, do the swap and sell the lunati cam. you'll never know how the cam acts until you install it..

plus, if you sell the cam now, you'll get about as much as if you put a few miles on it first.

well I think the answer is up to you. Do you mind keeping your cam or would you rather a tr220. There isn't really much to discuss. Either you can deal with it or not.

i would rather go with a tr220, just to the fact that it is a proven cam...
and there is really not much info on lunati cams on this site, and maybe they are grinded different than the comp cams...?

and thats very true seeming as tho the cam has already been ran on unknown mileage. And I got a bitchin deal on it and the TR is about double what I paid for the Lunati shipped. So Ill keep it and see whats up
