should make that 6.0 pull hard.

LOL! he is the one selling it!

That cam isn't bad. I would be tempted to use it if I already had it. But if I was set on something else, i'd go with a little more duration.

Yeah this cam pulled pretty good in my car but I thought it was very conservative.The reason I pulled it was because it had no lope,a muscle car must sound like a muscle car!I went with a G5x3 on 112 and I love it. If I wasnt happy with it in my car I figured I wouldnt be happy with it in my truck.I know theres a big difference between the weight of the two,I want the truck to lope some and be fast to,I felt like I couldnt have that with the 224.

There are plent of trucks rolling with the 224 cams and have lope. Maybe yours is idled up too high. Search the multimedia section for 224 cams there are quite a few with lope and they put down damn good numbers at the track.

That is one reason why we need THIS, to allow people to make their own decisions rather than listen to a bunch of educated/unedcated opinions.

I agree, Im not looking for drama just illustating my thoughts and opinion which go against alot of the generalizations about cams on this board. I enjoy conversations with different points of view it gets the wheels turning and causes people to think, I know Ive learned alot from other people pointing out how a certain scenario would or wouldnt work.
Like even though I disagree with sportsides reverse split it doesnt mean I havent learned alot from his ideas and it doesnt mean his grinds dont work because they do.
