you can look on some of our sponser sites (to the right of here) thunder racing or texas speed. or the parts classifieds most likely you will spend 250+.

another cam that will be suggested is the 212/218, if you dont want to lose that much low end torque for towing i would suggest this one. ive personally seen this cam do wonders with bolt ons and a small stall.

Give a little more info on the truck...rcsb, ec?, daily driver, other mods, gears, torque converter (are you willing to change it to a higher stall), how often will it be at the track, etc.

But yes, the TR220 took bluecajun's rcsb into the 12's with no head work, the normal bolt-ons, 3k+ torque converter, and 4.10's I *think* (not sure on the gears, they may be steeper)

The Comp 212/218 is also a proven daily driver cam, that can be used without a higer stall converter, but works best with a converter that stalls 2600+. Go to the top and find the list of options in the grey strip and select "Search", and type in 212/218, and/or TR220, and you will find enough threads to keep you reading until your truck is a classic
